FCK Cancer! COME ON STEEMIT! Don't Let Facebook WIN!

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Curly locks getting the chop - see it straight first!

A whale or two, five to ten dolphins, ten to hundred minnows or 1000+ plankton, no matter what the mix you can all help us help others, an upvote costs you nothing and it can SAVE lives!


YES I SAID LIVES!

See that super sexy man right there! He is my amazing selfless husband @shai-hulud and more importantly see those beautiful curls! He is cutting them all off to raise money to find a cure for leukaemia. But before cutting them all off we decided that we should at least see how long it is. So make sure you check out the video below to see his hilarious reaction to having straight hair.

He hasn't had his hair cut since before we got married, coming up on five years this April. We waited this long to take part in the World's Greatest Shave to ensure his hair won't go to waste. Once it is longer than 30cm it can be sent off to be made into a wig for a child suffering from hair loss associated with leukaemia. As you can see its much longer than that now.

Did you know that leukaemia is the most common cancer in children under the age of 15.

While we are both very happy for him to go bald to raise money for such a wonderful cause, I can honestly tell you we are both a bit scared of what he's going to look like...

See our problem!

We are aiming to raise $2,500 AUD, which is approx $400 SBD. To achieve this both @shai-hulud and I are donating all SBD from all posts with FCK Cancer in the title until early March. This is where it gets a little disappointing as we have been putting this out into the world for a few weeks now and seriously Steemit how could we let Facebook be winning the race! We have raised approx $700 to date and sadly only $50 of that had come from the community we love best!

Come On Steemians we know you don't want FB to win, we are so much better than that!

How can we beat FB?

  • TOGETHER that's how, as a community all doing it together!
  • Upvote this post! Big or little it all count's but if you do know a "Whale" (wink wink) no harm in letting them know too.
  • With that in mind how about a Resteem? The more people that see this the higher chance we have of beating Zuckerberg and winning the charity race.
  • Follow us, so you don't miss our next FCK Cancer Post @shai-hulud & @insideoutlet

Now for the video, make sure you watch until the end as its hilarious to see his reaction to his straight hair. I had to put up with hours of him running his fingers through his hair lol...


Just for fun here are some images from the growing cycle.

A whale or two, five to ten dolphins, ten to hundred minnows or 1000+ plankton, no matter what the mix you can all help us help others, an upvote costs you nothing and it can SAVE lives! and maybe buy him a beanie... Just Jokin, he can freeze all that money is for the kids. lol...

PLEASE RESTEEM THIS TO RAISE MORE AWARENESS AND FUNDS!

That is not a fair comparison. I'm willing to bet that per capita steemit is way ahead of Facebook. It would be nice to see steemit in front overall though. We may not have the numbers but we are in the main a far better class of people.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Haha I wish this was the case. My hubby only has about 300 friends on FB and it's a private account so in theory it hit a whole heap less people than a public forum like this. Fingers crossed we have a few jump on and flip it towards the better platform lol.

Thanks heaps @shadowspub for taking the time to read our post and @crazybgadventure for nominating us. We really appreciate it. We need to get another FCK Cancer post up now. @shai-hulud is working on one.

That is so big hearted of yall. I can not donate right now due to my games but I can resteem. But I will donate asap.

Thank you for upvoting and resteeming. I'll have to check out your games. We will be running this or a similar post for another two weeks or so and then

I actually had a precancerous tumor when I was seven.
Still have the scar from tearing the stiches.1519770358921862816002.jpg

I want you to have as much visibility as possible.
So I am giving you guys 5 free balloons.
If you win you get over 40 steem along with 20% of the next game.
I am not going to pick favorites but I hope yall last long so you get as many eyeballs as possible.
Fck Cancer.

Oh wow thank you. Seven is very young. I'm glad it went well and your still here to steemit! I was just checking out your balloon game and thinking that would awesome when we get some spare SBD. We have a curation group called @asapers which we share undervalued posts from our followers. It's very new but I think I could benefit from the game when we get a SBD lol.

We will see what happens! Its a community game so if your followers get balloons they get added to your stockpile.
Team ASAP?

A.S.A.P.ers as in get at it done as soon as possible lol. We will have to get your contest out to them so they know they can.

LOL I know what asap means :p

I mean is that your team name so peeps know what to put in the memos :)

Awesomesauce!

Haha lol. I thought that as i was writing it but it just seemed an unfinished sentence. Lol.

Wooo, I got in right under the wire. Yay!
Thank you so much for donating your hair. It's a wonderful thing to do for people who don't have the option of growing hair.

You're awesome, hubby!!

Thank you! And thanks for upvoting. We are shaving it on 18th March. 😁

I look forward to seeing the results!

Upvoted. Hope you reach the planned goal. Will be looking out for the good news.

Thanks :) We will put a post up after it's all done too :)

Such a good cause :) I'm resteeming to make other people aware =). Thank you for doing such a good deed :)

Thank you for the resteem. We appreciate it. Have a great weekend! 😊

Wow, that is long! I have curly hair as well and it's so weird when it is straight how long it actually is (I have only straightened mine once with a straightener and it looked so weird I didn't do it again). :) Mine is only straight when it is wet! Pretty cool and he will look interesting bald. ;) I bet he can pull it off though. Ha

Thank you lol, he will have to pull it off lol... It was so weird seeing him with straight hair. I didn't like it lol... Curls gets the girls lol!

My kids all have curly hair. It was inevitable. My husband and I both have curly hair! :)

OUr children would have had curly hair too, we are adopting now from Thailand, so very unlikely lol.

Lol - ;) I always wanted kids with straight hair. Lol : IMG_2976.JPG

You have beautiful hair!

Its a pain that grass always being greener on the other side. lol.

Thanks! I like it now, but years ago I wanted kids with straight hair. Lol! My kids have great hair (curly blonde so they all stand out here in Panama where dark and straights is normal). People always comment about it and want to touch it. It's funny. ;) What age child do you plan to adopt?

DM'ed you on Discord.

I have pretty low Voting power at the moment and it's only super low. I do hope dolphins would take notice on those post. Resteeming.

Thanks @dawnsheree I appreciate the resteem. 😁 have a great weekend!

upvoted you and followed you...

Thank you.

You guys should check out hairshares on Discord. @nepd started Hairshares for this very reason. To bring hair back to those who lost it in their fight against cancer. He also offers hairshare rewards that you can use to upvote posts on Steemit. I think it is great what you are doing and I offer my tiny upvote of help. Please go to whaleshares on Discord and link your post to @nepd. He will appreciate it!

Peace,
The Last Sage

We (@shai-hulud) will have to check this out. A great idea! Thank you.

Yes, Hairshares! Thank you lastsage for letting them know about it. :)

You are both great, upvote and resteem, Good luck to you

I loved watching @shai-hulud flipping his hair after it was straightened.. and what a noble cause. It's times like these that I wish my upvote was worth more. I will do my part by upvoting and resteeming!! Keep up the good fight!!

Thank you @monchhichi, we appreciate every bit. I couldn't stop laughing at him. It was so cute.

Having been recently diagnosed with cancer this hits very close to home. I have resteemed and although it isn't worth much yet, I have also upvoted. This is a great thing you are doing here. Thank you for your efforts!

Thank you @boss I have missed you since #dolphinschool. I'm sorry to hear this news. I hope your cure comes fast and easy. X

Thanks, I think I am on the better side of all of it now. I hope to write a short series chronicling my journey at some point. It was not nearly as bad as some people have, but it was still rather poignant. I wish you continued success with your project and your Steemit venture!

GREAT cause

Thank you.

This is awesome. I truly hope that many others will see this noble and at the same time funny act for such a great cause. Resteemed in hopes of more exposure.
