Hi everyone!! 

Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Caroline Jack Mortimer and I’m looking for your help. 

On Tuesday 20th December 2022 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Although I was utterly devastated at the news  I had a thought that I could use this to try and raise some much needed money for a charity very close to my heart. 

St Andrews Hospice is not only my workplace but a place that I have tucked away safely in my heart for all the love and care they have given my family personally in looking after my dad Alex and my Uncle Alan in the last weeks of their life. 

If any good can come from my diagnosis it would be to help out St Andrews Hospice who are now behind me fighting my fight and providing me with all that I need.

At my first appointment I was told that my hair will fall out and fall out pretty fast. Before this happens I would like to try and raise some money by first getting my hair cut and donating it and also do a  Brave The Shave so that I don’t have to witness my hair falling out.  

Every single penny will be gratefully received. Thank you 🙏🏼 xx
