SINGAPORE - The annual Hair For Hope event to raise funds for the Children's Cancer Foundation and increase public awareness of childhood cancer will be held virtually for the second year in a row despite the recent easing of Covid-19 measures.
Last year's event drew 2,058 participants who shaved their heads and raised more than $3.6 million, but there were no physical events due to the safe management measures at that time."We are working towards reinstating our earlier, larger Hair For Hope main event next year," Mr Ho said. She said she had chosen to do so this year not only to send children with cancer the message that it is okay to be bald, but also to celebrate the CCF's 30th anniversary.
"I hope to send a clear encouragement to other children with cancer that we can still be confident individuals even though we are bald," she said.
