My Wife Proves Her Sincerity

10.29.11
by Daniel Abraham

[EDIT:  Well, we made it to 5,000.  The chipin.com widget's a little slow updating, but someone came and made it rain.  So Kat's shaving her head on the 4th.  Her eyebrows remain safe.  For now.]

Remember that post I did a while back about Rachel, the lady who’s trying to get to Sweden to get a breakthrough surgery to save her life?  Well, a few things have happened, and she’s gotten to the point where she’s actually really close to getting it done.  They need a little more to support them while they’re actually out of the country.  Meaning it’s push time for fundraising.

Including, apparently, my Darling Wife shaving her head.  If she can get $5000 pledged, she’ll shave her head.  If she can get $10,000, she’ll do the eyebrows too.  For $20,000, she’ll think about shaving her legs, but no promises.

Thus does she prove her sincerity.   Me?  I put in for $100 for something I’m not at all certain I want.  That’s how I prove mine.
