I Shaved My Head & Waxed My Legs for Childhood Cancer Research!



Thank you so much for your continuous support and generous donation for NetApp Singapore's third St. Baldrick’s Foundation event. This is also my third year with the Foundation in raising funds for childhood cancer research.

Two years ago I took the plunge and shaved my head for the very first time, and last year I tattooed the Foundation's mascot on my calf. This year I shaved whatever that was left on my head and as a bonus also waxed my legs (yes, I did have hair there).

You helped me raise over US$34,000 and collectively as team NetApp Singapore with our partner BMC Software, raised US$147,000. The funds will go to the Duke-NUS Paediatric Cancer Research Fund in Singapore and also attracts a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Singapore government.

Specifically, the funds will support Professor David Virshup and his team from the Cancer & Stem Cell Biology Program in their osteosarcoma work and now expand it to paediatric brain tumour research.

The fund raising culminated in the shaving event on 15 March at Harry's @ Millenia Walk to a packed house.

Thanks again for your amazing support of this important cause!
