Equally Marvellous Baldies Ladies Gang

BALDIES – a group of ladies are having their hair shaved off in support of their friend Annemarie who is having chemotherapy at Dorset County Hospital. Annemarie’s friends had joked that they would do this at Christmas, possibly after one too many glasses of wine, but when she started her Chemotherapy, the group, calling themselves The Baldies, planned a series of events which kicks off at 11.30am on the 19th March at the Kings Arms in Weymouth. They are fundraising for the Dorset County Hospital’s Digital Mammography Appeal.

Not to be outdone, the husbands and partners of the ladies have also joined The Baldies and are having their chests waxed for the Appeal too with a chest waxing session at Southill Snooker Club on the 20th March.

What a great bunch of friends. We salute you all.

Thanks to the fantastic support we received since we launched the appeal in February 2011, the appeal has reached the £450,000 mark. With a number of fundraising events planned for the New Year, we are optimistic that we will reach our final target very soon.

We are delighted to announce that the Trust has just placed an order for the actual scanner equipment. Shortly further orders for the building work required to house the unit will be placed as well.

To celebrate the end of the appeal and to express our thanks to the many many people and groups who have shown such wholehearted support to the appeal, we are currently planning a formal final fundraising event on Wednesday 25th April, Corn Exchange Dorchester.

Further details will follow shortly, so keep checking our website

Thank you for your amazing support!
