Story

SHAVE THE BUSH!!...

When: 17 November 2009

Where: Central London

Timing: From 7pm until 12:00 midnight

This is an evening of fun, music, games, and of course HEAD SHAVING! Come in hats, wigs, any form of head attire and the most exciting/best will win a secret prize. If you don’t, you will be threatened with head shaving!!... (an extra donation will get out of it...). There will be a raffle and other games with all manner of prizes.

So why head shaving??I have a Cavernoma in my brain; I am having a craniotomy to remove this on 19 November 2009. I have to have my head shaved for this surgery; I don’t have a choice. But rather than sit at home, do it in private and get miserable about it, I thought I would make a public show of it, get as many people to join in, have a fun night and at the same time raise awareness for this condition and Leukaemia, and raise money for people who are not so fortunate. We currently have 9 people shaving their heads on the night.

Please visit www.shavethebush.org for more information on the event and my story. If you are unable to attend but want to give money anyway, thank you so much. This is the place to do it.

The two charities for which we are collecting are The Cavernoma Alliance (http://www.cavernoma.org.uk/home.html) and CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA (http://www.leukaemia.org/). Please take a look at their websites to find out more about the conditions and what amazing things they do to help those affected by these conditions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PAGE IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR DONATING TO THE CAVENOMA ALLIANCE. IF YOU WANT TO DONATE TO CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA, PLEASE VISIT https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/shavethebush

 

You can sponsor us per head shaved, or just donate as you feel appropriate. Donations can be made online care of our justgiving page (to be provided!) or given on the night. Any money given on the night, will be split 50:50 between both charities.

 

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 thank you!
