I am rather attached to my beard and I get a lot of comments about it. Since attending little Izzy's funeral last week, I have been thinking of a way of honouring Izzy. A lot of people shave their heads as a friend did while Izzy was still with us. I can't shave my head, so the beard gets it!
Inspired by Izzy's infectious smile and bravery, I have decided to shave my beard to raise funds and more importantly raise awareness. Money will go to Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens

7-year-old Izzy was diagnosed with cancer in December 2015 and she lost her brave fight in May 2016. In her short time with us, she touched many lives!  Full story here

I am shaving my beard on 26th June which happens to be my birthday. I will be keeping a thin chin braid as a reminder.
