Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am brave (or foolish) enough to have my head shaved for charity for the second time in under 20 years….at the age of 74! The first
time was in support of a dear friend who, through treatment for cancer, had lost her hair.

Having been hospitalised twice in two months at the end of 2020 I was diagnosed with, amongst other things, significant blood clots in both of my lungs which has further affected my breathing and overall health. Although being treated, it has made a huge physical and mental change to my life.

My treatment is ongoing and to say a big THANK YOU for my care I would like to raise money for The British Lung Foundation; which
incorporates Asthma UK. This is the only charity looking after our nations lungs! I fear that one of the legacies of Covid/Long Covid will be an increase in the number of people needing the services of BLF so I know that they will make every pound count in the research and development of new drugs and treatments.

I know that financially 2020/21 has been a very difficult year for many. So many people have lost their jobs or had hours or pay cut, so I know that money is tight. But I really would appreciate it if you felt able to support my fundraiser to help this worthwhile charity.

Thank you so much
