Businesswoman braves head shave to raise $100k for cancer research

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 31, 2012 - Kate McConville, co-owner of Kwik Kopy Auburn (http://www.kwikkopy.com.au/), will draw attention to her goal by shaving her head during a meeting of Sydney business owners in on November 8.

The 50-year-old will give up her hair in support of awareness and research into ovarian cancer and to honour a promise made to a friend who lost her battle with the disease last year.

“I am doing this now as it is around the first anniversary of Barbara’s death,” Ms McConville said.

“It’s taken me this long to come to terms with the promise I made her. I said I would do a head-shave event to raise money for research so that other kids like her son Daniel would not be left without a mother.”

Ms McConville will have her head shaved at a meeting of business owners who are members of the global business networking organisation called BNI (http://www.bni.com.au/) (Business Networking International).

The organisation has numerous chapters throughout Sydney, including the All About Business (http://www.bniallaboutbusiness.bnisite.com/venue.asp?org_...) chapter of which Ms McConville is a member.

“I am hoping Sydney business owners, particularly those involved in the BNI network, will dig deep to help me raise this money which is so desperately needed,” Ms McConville said.

Ms McConville will have her head shaved next Thursday at 7am at the All About Business meeting at the Pavilion Restaurant, Art Gallery Road, Sydney.
