In the end, I raised $1500 dollars for the Epilepsy Association of Calgary and was part of a group who raised over $22,000!
Here is the crop of hair that was shorn to raise funds and awareness for the Epilepsy Association of Calgary's programs.

In other news, my move goes on and unfortunately I feel like boiled hell which hasn't helped my stress level over moving after 8 years. Going to go crawl into bed and try and get
Yeah, yeah, I didn't come up with the tag line. :)
All joking aside, it is once again time for me to go forth and get shorn as both a fundraiser for the Epilepsy Association of Calgary and as an awareness raiser for epilepsy.
