Port Coquitlam, B.C. - The Terry Fox Foundation is looking to make cancer research the hottest trend in hairstyling with the Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair “Do.”
Energetic and creative people are sought as organizers, volunteers and participants.
The Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair “Do” is an inventive event where participants can shave it all off, try their hand at a little bit of waxing, a new colour or something a little quirky with colourful hair extensions or a wacky wig.
“For me, it’s just hair. I asked a friend of mine, in the midst of her cancer journey, how she felt about non-cancer patients shaving their head. She told me it showed her that we were committed to making a difference” Donna Louie, fundraising and office administrator for B. C. and Yukon of the Terry Fox Foundation and 2010 Head Shaver.
The Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair “Do” can be organized in your community, malls, salons, festivals, parties, events, schools, parks, and offices or even done as an individual.
The Terry Fox Foundation funds research into a wide variety of cancers, such as breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, leukemia and more.
