Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. For the last few months, I've been unwell with no known reason at the time. I fell ill again and luckily with the help of Heamatology specialists, my diagnosis was found - a very rare condition called Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) which if missed again, could have proved fatal. Because of this condition, I am receiving regular chemotherapy and medications to hopefully get rid of it once and for all.

Due to my treatment, my hair is thinning badly so it is time to say goodbye to it. I know I have to shave it, it's another step in my journey and has taken time to accept so I'm 'celebrating' with a "Head Shaving Party" with family and friends.

To support me and a fantastic charity, my wonderful husband is shaving his head and my dad is shaving his moustache that he has had since 1989!! I hope we can raise some money for a wonderful charity. Thank you so much.
