WOW i just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your generous donations! and yes - a wooly hat is top of my Christmas list this year! I will be back to update with pictures on Saturday...thanks again everyone - Chris.

This year I have lost 2 of my close friends and colleagues, Nigel Black and Elise Astle, to Cancer. I was trying to think what would raise a lot of money for eliseforlife.org in aid of The Christie and also what would make these 2 smile and then one day whilst looking in the mirror it came to me….. Loose the Doo! On the 3rd December, if I raise my total I will have my head shaved and believe me this is something that I would never do if it wasn't for such an amazing cause. I'm sure you all know someone whose life has been affected by cancer in some way so please donate - every pound counts!

Thanks very much
