Cathy Luttrell tells what it's like to be St. Baldrick's shavee 'The first thing I felt,' Cathy Luttrell said, after her head was shaved for St. Baldrick's event at Campbellsville University, today, to raise money to help find a cure for childhood cancer, 'was that the back of my head felt cold.' She said fellow Adair County shavee Greg Bardin, a veteran of the event in honor of his grandson, Blane Bardin, said that it feels like nothing you've ever done before. It was an unforgettable scene, seeing Blane there, with his granddad Greg, getting his head shaved, too, just like his dad. It was a good feeling, too, when Donna Wise, the event coordinator, told her she was the top woman fundraiser for the event -CM. PS: Donations are still welcome. She sends thanks to all her supporters who donated so generously. By Cathy Luttrell I would like to tell everyone what it was like to go to this event for the very first time. When Jimmy and I first arrived, we ran into Greg Bardin. I believe this was his fourth or fifth year participating in this event. We walk into the Powell Athletic Center and just a small crowd has arrived. There is a row of 12 chairs on the gym floor, all with green capes draped on them. We go out to the lobby to sign in; I drop off my check donations, and head back into the gym, where I am given a t-shirt and then await the program start. The crowd is growing by this time. Donna Wise, event coordinator, speaks to the group, telling us that 65 shavees had signed up and then the shaving starts. Shavees are called in groups of 12 and I am in the 4th group, so Jimmy and I get to sit and watch the others having their heads shaved first. You see grown men and women as well as small boys. It was really something to see Blane Bardin sitting in the chair next to his grandpa, Gregg Bardin, both getting their heads shaved at the same time. When the group with my name is called, I head down to my chair. I did not feel a moment of hesitation or dread. I was still so excited to participate. As I sit in the chair, the barber asks me if we were taking it all off, and I told her we sure were. My hair is short, but since it is so thick, she had to do a little prep work with it to get ready to start shaving. There is a crowd of people in front of me. All of them watching as one of their family or a friend is having his or her head shaved. Jimmy (Jimmy Luttrell) is right in front of me with our camera. When she takes the first swipe, I thought, here goes, no turning back. It didn't take but just a few minutes, but it seemed like at least 10-15 minutes. When I was finished, several people were taking pictures and I stood there talking to Jimmy and Gregg. The first thing I felt talking to them was that the back of my head felt cold. Gregg said it does feel like nothing you've felt before. Donna Wise then comes to me to let me know that I am the top woman fundraiser at the event. So, again, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of my donors. I couldn't have done it without you!! Please remember, that even though this shaving event is over, you can still go online at www.stbaldricks.org to make a donation. This story was posted on 2011-03-26 17:05:45
