Story

Thank you for visiting my page. 

After suffering with knee pain for the best part of the year, our good friend Ryan underwent an MRI. This showed an aggressive looking lesion around the upper tibia. A biopsy confirmed that this was Ewing Sarcoma, a form of cancer, and further testing showed that it had spread causing multiple lung metastases. It's all been very quick and he is currently undergoing chemotherapy to treat the tumour in his lung. Due to that therapy, Ryan knew that at some point he would be using his barbering skills on himself to give himself the haircut that no one really wants to do. Tonight (06/05/20) he will be doing this with a few of his friends on a video call, and some of us will also be joining him by shaving our own heads.

UPDATE: See before and after for all the head shaves: https://youtu.be/4UytUANn2wU

Ryan has astounded us all with his strength and bravery during, what can only be described as, the hardest thing that anyone could go through. A great friend, whose positivity and happiness always supports those around him, we now come together to support him and Sarcoma UK to raise funds in order to battle this disease.

I’m supporting Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep our Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.Thank you for your support.

For all the trims he may have given you, please help us to support him in his greatest trim yet, and if you too want to 'Bald with the Boys' please use this fundraising page.
