Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

I would like you to help me to raise money, by sponsoring me to have my head shaved.

I WILL BE SHAVING MY HEAD ON 25TH JUNE 2010

Did you know that each year an estimated 150'000 people in the UK have a stroke.

A stroke is a brain attack, a stroke happens due to a clot or bleed in the brain which cuts off the blood supply and causes brain cells to die.

The Stroke Association is the only UK charity solely concerned with combatting strokes in people of all ages.

They fund research into prevention, treatment and better methods of rehabilitation and help stroke survivors and their families directly through our community services.

I am fundraising in memory of my Nan, Ruby Andrews. She was a very big part of my life. When Nan sufferred a stroke all who knew her, both family and friends, found it extremely hard to see her struggle with even the basic everyday tasks. After a few weeks in hospital she entered a local rehabilitation centre and through her hard work and the staff's concentrated effort she was eventually strong enough to return home and with the continued help from her immediate family was able to return to a near normal routine of life.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now and help me reach my target.
