Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our friend, Alison Garnett has been diagnosed with secondary Breast Cancer and she is being cared for by the YDH Macmillan unit.  They do so much for the patients and their friends / family that make it a very special place.

Alison asked us to raise money for them and so we said "No Problem!"  First up, we're holding an even on 29th April at The Hair Shop, Yeovil where one of our friends (and anyone else who'd like to) is going to have her head shaved to support Alison, who's hair is already starting to go.  Others of us are dyeing our hair pink in support also.  There's at least one man who's also going pink.

This is hopefully the first of many events that will get the unit the much needed donations they need to keep being amazing.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
