Story

Since secondary school I have grown my hair, i'm now 24, (25 within the month) and I may lose it all if I raise enough money.

My hair is a mess, it could be fixed, but I thought what a good opportunity to raise money for a charity that has helped me and Iona personally, even more reason to get the guts & motivation to lose my hair.

Colchester Mind's 'The Junction' helped me a lot in my mid to late teens and its also where I met Iona so I would like to give something back, and as it was a part of both myself and Iona's life it gives it more purpose.

Donate what you can, the fact you will witness me with short hair may encourage your donation..  

I've given myself a target of at least £60, (Iona scoffed at this sponsoring idea previously thinking noone would care enough about it to donate so prove her wrong). I hope to have raised this amount by Jan 31st, but if beforew then I will consider removing the hair before then!

So thank you for visiting and please donate!
