One Heart, One Act...GO BALD, GIVE HOPE!!!

The Spring, Kuching on 15th of May. 2011 will be filled with hair. In the posh mega mall's South Court, the GO BALD, GIVE HOPE will be where hair do not wanna be but YOU DO.

The event is into its 3rd year and is a good will event where we shave our heads to show our support to children suffering from cancer. We want to remind them that despite their unfortunate illness, they are still every bit a Malaysian we are and give them hope.

A good friend of mine, fellow Liverpool supporter and now famous lead singer of EvenStarr, a local band, Mr. Silas Michael, has been on the GO BALD crew since day one and also part founder of this fund raising campaign for the Sarawak Children's Cancer Society or SCCS for short. He will go bald too this Sunday and anyone interested in sponsoring him please go to www.gobald.my as soon as possible. Simply go to http://gobald.my/take-action/ and click on the "click here to donate" button. You ...will see the online payment form (iPay888 Virtual Link Payment Detail). Fill it up accordingly but under "Shavee", pls key in "Silas Evenstarr" and for "Product Description" pls select Go Bald. All funds will go direct to the Sarawak Children's Cancer Society aka SCCS. Once payment is made, the system will send you an official online receipt via email.

After you have done the donation under his name, please kindly forward it to him at silas@truevents.my so he can tabulate your donation in his sponsorship list. In appreciation, he will send you an autographed copy / copies of his shaved photos via email. Even better, do come on to The Spring, Kuching, at 12.30noon to witness him GoBald onstage (that's if ur in town la) and yes, you may applaud or simply laugh at him. Either way, it's all for a good cause. :):)

The GO BALD campaign is targeting to raise RM1,500,000.00 (yes, that's RM One Million Five Hundred) to build a new SCCS centre that will offer an unprecedented level of care and support for child cancer patients in Sarawak:

  • Specially-designed accommodation for visiting patients and their families. Some of these families have to travel for 7 hours just to treat their children!
  • Improved amenities, facilities and resources for the treatment of cancer patients. We want to make their stay in Kuching as productive as it is positive.
To achieve and make this dream come true for the children and their families, they need our help. Please do find it in your hearts to spare some change as the suffering both patient and family members is way beyond our imagination.

We at A.B.A.S. will also send our representative to support such noble cause. The U.S.P.T.N. Sarawak trainees have shown their compassion and are interested to GO BALD as well. We are now working to have their new hairdo or maybe its "no hairdo" approved by their school as most of them are still students.

We are proud to have trainees in the Sarawak Tenpin Bowling Team so passionate about the social happenings in the state and country. They want to make a difference in their lives but others as well. Now that is the true meaning of Sarawak and Team Sarawak for our sport.

At this moment, Jonathan Ding Sagan, a member of Sarawak's Elite Team and Sukma 2010 Gold medalist has signed up and confirm going for the GO BALD. He is a true example and a role model for all young and old. CHEERS JON!!!

Another daredevil to step up on stage and have his head shaved is Kelvin Chan, A.B.A.S. Assistant Hon. Treasurer, ex-state bowler and team member of numerous title winning local league team, the 90's.


Good luck and many thanks to Jon and Kelvin for sacrificing their hair for a good cause. Now we can really say they are putting their heads to good use :) Cheers to both of them!!!


Photos of their before and after hairdo will be posted up after the GO BALD so do check back and have a look see. The Spring...Team Sarawak is coming!!!
