Story

Jakes story: During the spring/summer of 2016 a good friend of ours - Jake Whiteside, was diagnosed with cancer. Becasuse of this, and the location of the initial tumour, his mobility was highly affected, resulting in the need for an electric wheelchair that was generously donated to him by the Wipe Away Those Tears foundation. Due to later need for chemotherapy Jake has now lost his hair and is hence why we're shaving our heads.

To show our gratitude towards this colossal act of kindness we have decided to shave our heads to raise awareness and money for the foundation. Thanks to them Jake is now able to move around without assistance.

And we can honestly say that Jake is the strongest person we know and have infinitive respect and love for him. With this we are incredibly appreciative of the foundation for letting us have our Jake back and want to do all we can to give back, and we hope that you can help us do that.

Thank you so much to anyone who has shared this, donated or told anyone about our campaign.
