A Special Request From Gaelic Storm's Patrick Murphy

Hello everybody,

First time ever asking for something like this.

There's a great organization called St Baldricks across the USA and every St Pats day they have fundraisers all over the country. The purpose behind the fundraisers is people shave their heads for cancer research for children. Here's the link.....

www.stbaldricks.org

There's an Irish pub in Green Bay, WI called St. Brendan's and last year the staff raised around $95,000 by shaving their heads. So I've signed up with these people and am going to shave it on stage. I haven't cut my hair since Dec 24th and I'm not going to cut it until March 9th on stage in Green Bay Wisconsin. So needless to say my head will look like a neglected cabbage patch doll in the dump.

I did it last year and raised around $1,500 and the year before and got around $1,300. Trying to beat it this year.

If you can, click on the link below and donate $1 or $2. That's all. If you can do anything more than that it would be great. Last year at the show I asked the audience of 1,000 people to simple put $1 in a box. They all did and it was a very easy way to raise the $1,500.

If you can chip a few bucks in that would be great.

Thanks for your time.

Pat

Here's the link to my donation page.
