SHAVING MY HAIR- 17TH JULY

For about 6 months now I have been considering the idea of shaving my hair for charity, I have always been interested in fundraising, and charity work is one of my career aspirations.

Recently one of my best friends was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer (Hodgkin Lymphoma), and ever since she has been my inspiration to help beat cancer sooner through the Race for Life and other charity events.

I have studied cancer as part of my Health and Social Care A Level and I am very interested in the impact of cancer on friends and families of sufferers. I know that cancer can affect almost everybody, whether its affecting a relative or close friend, it is ruining lives of people we know and love.

As you can see, I am very passionate about raising as much money as possible, and trying to impact on peoples lives by fundraising and raising awareness. I would really like to bless people around me by doing something challenging to me.

Thant is why on the 17th July my hair is going to be shaved off to raise money and awareness for sufferers of cancer!! I hope to raise £100 so please give generously. The location needs to be confirmed, but wherever it is, please come to watch! There will most likely be teas and coffees available there as well! If you can't make it, I will be filming it and posting it on Facebook.
