Story

Devastatingly an incredibly close friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with cancer, or more specifically Sarcoma which is a very rare type of cancer.

Tom Eckles is one of the nicest and most genuine people you could ever wish to meet. He has been one of the best friends to me a guy could ever wish for always there for you no matter what the situation. Which is why now my friends and I feel compelled to do something to give a fraction back to this incredible individual who has contributed so much to our lives.

On the 23rd January 2015, my friendship group of 12 affectionately known as 'The Bird' will be going completely bald to raise money for the continued research to find a cure for this rare type of cancer.

It would mean so much to all of us if you could donate anything, no matter how small, to this fantastic cause.

We will of cause keep you updated and post photos of ourselves after the event!

Will Hunter is performing a sky dive to raise money for Sarcoma UK in support of Tom!

Will was unable to go bald due to work commitments but wanted to do something as a show of solidarity for Tom. So let's get behind Will and keep the incredible fundraising going!
