We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future. By 2050, we believe everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But we need to act now.

Story

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HEADSHAVE</strong></span></p> <p>17.05.11</p> <p>Hi,&nbsp;I am&nbsp;Carol Richardson, 57&nbsp;and from&nbsp;Rugby, Warwickshire.</p> <p>On the 1st of October this year I will be&nbsp;letting my hairdresser use her clippers (2mm guide) on my head.....</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>Having&nbsp;three of my&nbsp;sisters diagnosed with breast cancer&nbsp;is quite an insentive. I decided&nbsp;I would&nbsp;raise&nbsp;funds for&nbsp;a charity and I thought the more drastic the better.</p> <p>All monies collected will be donated to 'Breakthrough' and the pony tail' (cut off prior to the shave) will be donated to the 'Little Princess Trust' a non profit organisation that has the hair made into wigs for children that have suffered hair loss. For more info on this wonderful Trust please visit <a href="http://www.littleprincess.org.uk">www.littleprincess.org.uk</a></p> <p>22.05.11</p> <p>Thank you Rugby Bridge Club, last night you sponsored me for &pound;248.00 (&pound;108.00 of which has already been collected)</p> <p>11.06.11</p> <p>Went down to Chiswick, London last night for a 'Richardson' get together. With their support and the wonderful&nbsp;customers in the Chiswick Memorial Club a further &pound;221.00 has been pledged (196.00 of which has already been collected) Thank you all very much.</p> <p>05.08.11</p> <p>I've been busy with the sponsorship forms again. I have collected a further &pound;236.00 towards my target. Will keep you all posted.</p> <p>05.09.11</p> <p>Hi, I haven't done so well this month. Not enough effort on my part. However a further &pound;95.00 collected for the pot.</p> <p>Collected monies so far is now at &pound;635.00 with pledges bringing up the total to around &pound;850.00&nbsp;a far cry from my target. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I MUST DO MORE</span>.</p> <p>28.09.11</p> <p>On Saturday 17th September I held a small prize raffle at my local bridge club and thanks to their generousity I have a further&nbsp;&pound;62.00 to add to my pot. I also have a further &pound;332.10 collected on sponsor forms, mostley due to my neighbours, THANKYOU VERY MUCH. Bring my running total now to &pound;1129.10.</p> <p>04.10.11</p> <p>Well the deed has been done. It was a great day on Saturday. I would like to thank my husband, Bob, my youngest son, Lee, and my youngest sister, Barbara for their help and support on the day and of course Selina from Salon 45 for making a good job of shaving my head. Plus Jane and&nbsp; the Rokeby Lions for their support also. Thanks to the wonderful people of Rugby they donated into buckets a great sum of &pound;352.73.
