Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be doing 2 things in memory of Helen. Firstly, I have been growing my hair long and I will be cutting it off soon and donating my ponytail to a charity that makes wigs for cancer sufferers. Helen never seemed upset about losing her own hair during her cancer treatment, but I know she would be chuffed that I am chopping all mine off to help other people. 

And secondly, I am trying to raise just a little bit of money for St Francis Hospice; the hospice who took such good care of Helen. This is where you guys come in. If I raise £50, I'll cut off my ponytail and then have my hair styled in the current style of Frankie Sandford from the Saturdays. If I beat the £100 target for donations, I'll cut off my ponytail and have my hair cut in the same style my dear Helen wore in my favourite photograph of her

So people, this is your chance to give me really short hair for the first time in over 16 years! And to do it for such a good cause. Helen died of liver cancer at the age of 33 and I still can't fill the Helen shaped void in my heart, no matter how many Krispy Kreme dreamcakes I eat.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your donation too.
