Story

Recently things have been very up and down in terms of me personally and the people around me.  I've had someone very close to me be diagnosed with breast cancer, but she has made it through and is well and happy, which is a massive relief.

Some people aren't as lucky though and their cancer keeps coming back, and one of my family friends is experiencing that at the moment.  She has been so sick for so long now, that it is getting torturous for her and her family, which includes her son and daughter.

The charity I'm supporting and donating all my fundraised money to, Macmillan Cancer Support, is exactly as it says, they help cancer patients and families financially, emotionally and physically through diagnosis and treatment.  

I'm getting rid of my hair because I don't need it really, and some people have no choice in the matter, so whilst they may feel uncomfortable and exposed, I'll do it with them and try and encourage them as best as I can.  

Please donate!  Help my reach my target goal, or even higher.  I'm doing this in memory of my Grandad, who had alzheimers and I miss him so much, though he didn't even know who I was.

Thank you :)
