Debbie's Headshave Saturday 9th October

Debbie Gaston is raising money for St Peter & St James Hospice

Headshave · 9 October 2021

St Peter & St James Hospice helps people live well to the end, offering compassionate, FREE care for patients and families at home and in our hospice. It costs £7m each year, with little government funding—so every donation helps ensure no one faces end of life alone.

Story


So, 8 years ago when I received a bone marrow transplant, I had no idea that I would be facing another cancer challenge in 2021.
Well, I find myself facing chemo for ovarian cancer (a more rare type I'm told but there's no surprise there!) - I am thrilled to say that it is stage 1 but that does not mean that this is easy sailing.
Life is worth fighting for and living is to be celebrated even when it's tough. and that's my mantra I guess.
Anyway, my chemo starts soon and because my surgeon said I will be receiving the 'Gold Standard' of chemo, my hair will definitely be falling out.
Now I'm not one to let things happen to me if I can do something about it, so I have decided to do a fundraising event for St Peter and St James Hospice (where I work). On Saturday October 9th at 11am, my hairdresser is going to create a Mohican with my hair, all in rainbow colours. Then I will be having it all shaved off!
If you feel you can give any amount to sponsor me to help the hospice, then please do so.
If you can't then just send positive vibes my way. They are also very much appreciated.
In the meantime much love and light to you all. Debbie xx
