Also, if the computer is too far out of reach, or if (like mine) your 2year old broke it... You can text FLEX82 to 70070 to donate £1. :0)

Hiya All! I'm fundraising for the Neuroblastoma Alliance - a charity that helps children receive cancer treatment not available in the UK I plan to do so by shaving my hair on the Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer found in diagnosed in children under 1, and about 100 children each year are affected by it. You can find out more information on Neuroblastoma here ----> http://www.childrenscancer.org.uk/what-is-neuroblastoma/ The charity Neuroblastoma Alliance provides financial support to families who's children are affected. Sadly, the best chance of survival for many is trials and treatment abroad, largely in Germany or America. The costs of the treatment varies, but can be anywhere around £250,000 - £500,000 plus. If there's one thing for certain, survival from cancer shouldn't ever be about a parents ability to magic up a quarter of a million on borrowed time. And that's where the Neuroblastoma Alliance comes in. It funds this treatment and helps parents raise the money in their own time On the 8th November 2012, 7 year old Jamie Inglis was declared cancer-free for the second time. His treatment cost £250,000 and I hope to in some way aide his parents fundraising - money that will help other children become cancer-free too. This treatment works. It saves lives. You can read about the story of Jamie Inglis here ----> http://keepjamiesmiling.com/ So please, please, please donate what you can. This is a worthy cause, and every penny is a step towards beating Childhood Cancer The hair shaving takes place on the 29th November at Reflex, York (sorry, over 18s only) for anyone that wants to come watch! The hair will be donated to The Little Princess Trust which supplies free real hair wigs to children with cancer. You can find out more about them here ----> http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/ Lastly, sorry for the essay. :0)
