  Over 1,000 people shave their heads to create awareness for cancer in children
  Posted: 25 July 2010 1832 hrs

  SINGAPORE : More than 1,000 people had their heads shaved on Sunday to create awareness of cancer in children.
  
  Mr Ravi Sivalingam, chairman of the Children's Cancer Foundation, led by example and showed that going bald is hardly hair-raising at all.
  
  President SR Nathan and Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs, Associate Professor Ho Peng Kee also graced the event.
  
  Organised by the Children's Cancer Foundation, the Hair for Hope event is in support of children with cancer, who typically lose their hair during chemotherapy.
  
  The foundation wants to show the children that they are not alone in their fight against the disease, and that there's nothing wrong in losing their hair.
  
  Some 1,100 had earlier registered online to get their heads shaved, and about one in five are female.
  
  Individuals can also register at the event.
  
  The foundation hopes to raise S$750,000 through the event. - CNA /ls
