The Big Shave · 1 December 2018

The Purple Butterfly Appeal was set up by the Rotherham Hospital and Community Charity to raise money to improve end of life care for people in Rotherham.

Story

In June this year I lost Grandma Baggley. She is an amazing woman who cared for everyone in the family. Keeping us all together and we have a large family. She loved us all and we all loved her.

This is the 1st big loss for me in my adult life and this was hardest time for everyone in the family. 

Grandma stopped in the Purple Butterfly Suit at Rotherham Hospital. I had never heard of this suit until then and I was amazed by the Ward. It was amazing and staff could not do enough for everyone in one of the saddest times of anyones lives. To have a private apartmant more or less for Grandma and all her children and grand children to visit her and stay with her was the best thing we could have all asked for.  As much as we wanted her home we could not. 

As a way for me to say thank you to everyone there I am shaving my beard off to raise money. I  have been growing my beard for 2 and a half years now. Grandma always asked me when I was getting a shave and now I am. My beard is currently at 26cm/10 inch long from my chin and I can tell you growing this has fun experience. People who know me know I love my beard but it is coming off for a great cause.

 I will be shaving live on facebook on the 01/12/2018. I am trying to raise at least £600, i know that is alot but they deserve alot more for what they do. 

Thank You for reading.
