Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The reason I am doing this event is the raise the awareness of how cancer cruelly affects peoples lives. I lost my Uncle (Pancreatic) and my Grandad (Maignant Myloma) to this disease.

Imagine how I felt when my Mum was was dignosed with cancer too. Well she's 3 years clear. Infact she's just been to her 3 monthly follow up at St James today. She now going to 6 monthly check ups.

Most recently a really close friend of mine was affected by cancer and she lost every bit of her hair. It really made me think about how I could donate my hair so hence my head shave. Glad to report she is on the road to recovery but it's taking her a long time to get her strength back and be the ace netball player she used to be.

I want to raise a huge amount of money to help find a cure for all types of cancer, especially the types of cancer that don't have cures yet. At least then people could have some hope and a weapon to fight this disease with.

Please help me beat this foul disease by your donation no matter how big or small, every little helps towards the fight. 

Thanks for reading.
