My story

On the 30th September I am going to shave my head to raise money for Alopecia UK.  There are several forms of Alopecia - all of them result in hair loss - some people loose all their hair, even their eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair.  Gail Porter the television presenter, Duncan Goodhew the olympic swimmer and Matt Lucas star of little Britain all suffer from Alopecia.  Alopecia UK offer support to children and adults with Alopecia.  I have experienced a diffuse form of Alopecia and also I have lost my hair through chemo therapy - so I understand how upsetting it can be to loose hair.  September is Alopecia awareness month and so I am trying to raise funds for fellow sufferers and awareness about the condition.

 I am also raising money for MORE-2-LIFE  a charity that supports children orphaned by HIV/Aids in South Africa - the money I raise will be split equally between the two charities.  So far I have raised nearly £2000.  On this page it's only possible to donate to Alopecia UK.

 Thank you for any donation that you make - Jessicax

I AM NOW DIVIDING THE TOTAL RAISED BETWEEN THE TWO CHARITIES - ALOPECIA UK AND MORE-2-LIFE SO THE TOTAL ON THIS PAGE WILL CHANGE - IN ALL WE RAISED £2882 SO EACH CHARITY WILL RECEIVE £1441 - THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SPONSORED AND SUPPORTED - XXX

Charity Registration No. 1111304

Alopecia UK provides information, advice and support to children and adults with alopecia, a hair loss condition that can result in complete loss of head hair, eye-lashes, eyebrows and all other body hair. It is an extremely challenging condition and the dramatic appearance change often results in psychological trauma, and lost confidence. There is reduced control of body temperature, dirt and perspiration get into unprotected eyes, absence of eye lashes allows eye lids to turn in, and unprotected skin burns readily in even moderate sunshine. There is no known cure and no treatment guaranteed to induce hair re-growth and sustain remission. The course of the condition is unpredictable and often recurrent. Alopecia UK is there to help.

This is the money raised offline for Alopecia UK and I'm sure all the sponsors would send best wishes.
