My First Shave

Hello!

Thanks for looking at my page. I decided to participate for the first time in this greatest shave because I lost my mother in 2024 to cancer. I never got the chance to shave my head with her for because she passed within 2 weeks of her diagnosis. So I'm doing it now as a way to remember her. 

She always had a great sense of humour and I know she was always looking forward to wearing wigs. Will I wear a wig? Not sure yet but anything is possible!

If you feel like contributing then I would be grateful for the support.

Also! As I've had a couple people ask so whoever donates the most get to shave me on the day! I'm going to let probably a few people in the top donations have a go at the shaving as well! 

Sincerely,
Zachary Barker

Goal.... what goal!?

Thursday 12th Feb
Truly incredible. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone who has donated so far and made my original goal of $700 just be crashed through.
It looks like I will have to buy some wax so I can make my freshly shaved head shine as much as the donations you have all given!
I'm looking forward to the 18th and I couldn't imagine the donations ever getting this high or any higher .... unless? 👀

Seriously thank you all so much.
Sincerely,
Zac Barker
