I think if someone wants to shave their head to help raise money for breast cancer research, more power to them! It may seem a bit drastic, however it does draw attention to the fact that many people undergoing treatment lose their hair. I beleive last year they also did pink highlights, as well as taking straight money donations.

Raising money for breast cancer = good. Shaving heads = not so good. Find a better way to raise the money.
