My beautiful & amazing mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the new year. It has spread to parts of her bowel & lymph glands BUT she is KICKING CANCER'S BUTT with the help of chemotherapy & other drugs.

On the 14th June at 3:30pm I will be having my head shaved to raise much needed funds & awareness of Ovarian Cancer. My hair will be donated to The Little Princess Trust - www.littleprincesses.org.uk who make wigs for children who are battling cancer.

All donations will go to Ovarian Cancer Action - www.ovarian.org who are based at the Imperial College, London. They are a charity which funds cutting edge medical research into Ovarian cancer.
