journeys coffeehouse -> sean bartley -> cut for the cure

08-20-09

This is a re-posting of a story that was ran on journeys coffeehouse‘s site about one of the amazing baristas, Sean Bartley, and his strides in helping to fight breast cancer.

Sean: beforeFor those of you that know Sean Bartley, one of the amazing baristas at journeys coffeehouse, you will know that Sean has always seemed to have this long hair that he loves. Just over a week ago now two of us were joking with Sean on shaving his head… the matter quickly came to that if we could raise $500 basically overnight he would shave his head and donate all of the money to breast cancer research. To all of our amazement we were able to raise not $500 but over $1000.

So today we gathered at journeys coffeehouse as well as online via a live streaming of the event to share in this amazing story. Sean has is hair dresser of many years, Kathy, come out to do the honors. We had several breast cancer survivors join us in person as well as on the live stream.

We just wanted to share the story and one man’s step in helping fight to find a cure. Please don’t let the fight end with just one event, keep on fighting for the cure.

For those that are on Facebook, there is a full photo collection here.
