Join the Cansa Shavathon

Show your support by spraying your hair with a funky colour or, if you are brave enough, shave it all off for this worthy cause.

This initiative is held to show solidarity with those affected by cancer.

Losing ones hair is a common side effect of chemotherapy, so shaving your head has become a symbolic gesture of support for cancer survivors.
