Go Bald Crew
We’re all doing Go Bald because we believe in it, in what it represents. For some of us, it’s a wonderful thing to raise awareness about kids with cancer; and it kills us to see the innocence of youth ravaged by a disease that knows no boundaries. Some of us have had personal experiences with cancer, losing a loved one to the evil dreaded C, and we absolutely hate to think how it feels to be a kid and be faced with it. So we just want to do something that truly counts. Whatever it is, Go Bald is important to each and every single one of our team. We hope you feel the same way.
Rodney Wong
Rodney is Head of PR at SCCS and is the founder of Go Bald. He’s worked in the consumer goods industry for multi-national companies for almost 30 years, doing sales and region management. He thrives in the industry because he loves working with people.
He loves that life is about choices – choices that give rise to results in the future. When we choose to do good, positive outcomes are produced. That’s why his motto is “doing the right thing moves us forward”.
Rodney’s family is his passion and he is totally in love with spending time with his children. He loves all sports, especially golf; is an avid reader; and dedicates part of his leisure time to charitable organisations like SCCS and Lions’ Club.
Go Bald is close to Rodney’s heart because beyond raising awareness and funds for children’s cancer, it has a much bigger role in building compassion and responsibility in Sarawak society.
Rodney absolutely loves all things Kuching. For him, most of the best things in life are found in Kuching - friendly people, fantastic food and rich heritage. Everyday in Kuching is like a holiday to him!
Silas Michael
Silas is the Head Honcho, Grand Poobah and Organising Chairman of Go Bald; and has been since Year 1. His day job has him running TRUevents, an events management agency. His a trained engineer but he loves organising events so much that he’s stuck to it for over five years.
For Silas, life is a God-given gift and is to be shared with others. And he loves the people that he gets to share his life with – his lovely wife and two boys, his colleagues and his friends.
Outside of work, Silas can be found zooming about town in his Kawasaki Z750 Super Naked. Besides superbikes, he loves dogs. We wonder if it would make his day if he could ride his superbike with a dog at the same time!?
Jodie Sim
By day, she runs iVoq Concept, a company she and a friend started four years ago. After hours (and during as well!), she is vice Grand Poobah in the Go Bald campaign. She is Vice OC, PR, Secretary all rolled into one, with a lot of support from her partners in crime (Cheryl and Genevieve), of course.
She loves that life is so unpredictable. Every day is like a new page in a story book. She is addicted to travelling and can be found in any one country many times in a year.
Jodie has been involved with Go Bald since the beginning but even so, she still gets goosebumps when she sees someone go bald. She feels privileged to have this opportunity to help.
She would have you know that she absolutely, positively loves dogs of all shapes and sizes. She has four – Precious, Pico, Mischa and Patchl. Next to her pooches, she loves mangoes and is the Mango Queen of Kuching.
Deez Harman
The web is Deez’s domain and it’s coz of her that we have this cool Go Bald site. Deez is based in Kuching and has been doing web design since 2006. She loves her job because she gets to meet all sorts of peeps from all walks of life. She derives inspiration from learning different perspectives from people and life. Her family gives her a sense of belonging, and it is with family that she learns life’s challenges together and where she comes face to face with the experiences of life’s encounters.
Besides making pretty things on the web, she throws a mean bowling ball, is a keen traveller and lover of Korean movies.
Cheryl Melia
Cheryl is our ace PR team leader. She lives and breathes PR with her job at Tru Events Services. She’s a business graduate and enjoys her job because it is the epitome of StressFunNess. There’s always something new to look forward to in life, and she finds purpose in watching the miracle of each day unfold before her, like a gift from God.
She loves shopping when she’s not PR-ing and StressFun-ing about. And like an Energizer bunny, she takes her niece jogging, walking, running at the park and plays video games, is into music, reading, travelling and crafts. Phew! Where does she get her energy from??
Genevieve Tan
Genevieve is Cheryl’s right arm in PR and helps out with media releases and media relations. She’s ever ready with a friendly smile to help other team members whenever necessary. It’s important to her that she gets along with the team (which she does!) and that’s why she enjoys her job!
The most important things in life for Genevieve are her family, friends and the people she meets through work and other activities. Each person is a unique being and there is always something interesting about the people she meets. She loves to talk to them and get to know their stories and windows into their lives.
She loves the outdoors when she’s away from the office. When she’s not hiking, you can find her at the cinema enjoying a movie, or indulging in her other love – food!
Go Bald is especially close to Gen’s heart because she lost her mum to cancer and she wants to do what she can to help ease the pain and trauma of treatment. This is her legacy to her mum.
Lucia Turner
Lovely Lucia has made Kuching home away from home, and is a PR Assistant Intern with Tru Events Services. She’s an exchange student from England, studying events management so interning with Tru Events puts her right where the action is and she’s learning loads already!
Every day is a new adventure for Lucia; there’s always something or someone new to learn from. Life is full of opportunities and she loves creating great ones for herself. Coz life is what you make it.
Outside the classroom and office, she’s a keen one for keeping fit, cooking and the performing arts. But her biggest passion is travelling and she’s always planning her next trip in her head. Oh, and one other thing, Lucia loves Asian culture and dreams of living here one day.
Cynthia
Cynthia is the Go Bald scribe who started writing stories about everything and anything when she was 6. But by day, she’s a nature conservationist who loves nothing more than to do something right for the environment and nature.
Life is a sacred gift and with every day comes new beginnings, new stories, new experiences; so it is to be celebrated! Cyn loves cycling and the great outdoors. She can be found any day of the week, pedalling furiously after boy cyclists who speed way ahead of her; or taking in the miracle of nature on a hike somewhere. Otherwise, she’s behind a book, having an adventure in her head, scribbling in her journal or talking to her five giant dogs.
Cyn also reckons she’s a closet hippie, but shhhh….you didn’t read that here!
