Any one who knows me knows I have pretty thick, fairly long hair which has nearly always been long.

Anyone who knows me knows I am dedicated to raising awareness of childhood brain tumours and, if possible, funds via Ellie's Fund Brain Tumour Trust.

For a while I have been toying with the idea of having a head shave to raise as much awareness as possible as well as raising much needed money for research into the biggest cancer killer of UK children.

I am now taking the plunge and have set a date (3rd March 2014) as it is the start of Brain Tumour Awareness month. I know it is a while away but it will give me a chunk of time to raise as much as possible. It will also give my family the chance to try and talk/argue me out of it but that won't happen. ;) It also gives me a chance to gather some hats (I am aiming for one a day for the month of March so please help here if you can. :D )

This HUGE undertaking will be taking place at the Jubilee Hall, Stadon Road, Anstey at some time between 9.30 and 12. We will have cake and cuppas, a few stands (listed below), a raffle and a bottle tombola to raise even more money and there will be soft play for your little people to play on and keep them occupied. We are also getting a visit from a raccoon! Please come along and bring your pounds and pennies to help us raise EVEN MORE :D

Please share this amongst your friends and family and help me raise as much as possible for such a worthwhile cause.

The locks themselves will be sent to http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/ in the hope that they will benefit a child who is dealing with hair loss following treatment for cancer
