Hair Cutting Challenge!!!


In the early hours of the 6th of April 2009 a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale struck the city of L'Aquila in central Italy, 120 Km northeast of Rome.

According  to the Italian Red Cross more than 260 people are dead and 1000 injured.
The quake has left around 28000 people homeless in the city, which has a population of 70000.

Many of these people have lost their houses, all their belongings and someone they knew and loved. They are now living in tents unsure of what the future will bring.

The Red Cross is supporting them in this time of crisis, but they need more funds to continue to operate!!!

I want to help and I know you want to help too...

I BET MY HAIR ON IT!!!

this is the deal:
raise £2000 for the people affected by the earthquake in Italy and it all comes off!!!

NO CHEATING, REAL NATURAL HAIR that I have been growing for more than 19 YEARS (!!!) will be cut off!!

Money is needed quickly, so the cut off date will be the 8th of May please donate as much as you can, every pound helps!

All the money raised will be automatically donated to the Emergency Appeal run by the British Red Cross and forwarded directly to the Italian Red Cross Earthquake fund

You can donate throught Justgiving (using Paypal, credit or debit cards), or directly to me if we meet. If you are in Italy you can donate directly to the Italian Red Cross and then just let me know how much you have donated.

If you are paying taxes in the UK please complete online your Giftaid form (it's just a click) and for each pound donated by you the governament will add 28p

Please pass the link to this page around as much as you can!

thanks a lot for your help
