Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

This all started for me as a bit of a joke, i woke up one moring and decided that i no longer wanted long hair, someone then told me that i could get my hair cut and donate the hair to a children with cancer charity and that my hair could be made into a wig for those who have lost their hair through illness.

After hearing that i was sold on the idea that i would donate my hair to the charity and after telling people that i would get it cut, they were offering to donate money too. 

I was thinking of a way to be able to get more people involved in donating and helping, so i started to think of a tennis physical challenge that i would set for myself but also get more people involved in the challenge. 

I came up with the idea of a 10 hour endurance tennis match for myself.  The players,parents,coaches and friends that want to get involved can rotate against me every 15min/30min or hour.

So finally any money donations will be going to the Willow Foundation and my hair will be cut and donated to The Little Princess Trust. 

This will be taking part on the 30th of March 2014, at Southwell tennis club. 

Thank you for your time reading this and your donations.
