Time to shave the head · 23 May 2017

Stomawise’s primary objective is to provide support and assistance to others that are about to, or have gone through ostomy surgery for 1 of over 50 possible reasons. We are also the home of the OstoBear a teddy with a stoma which is donated to children undergoing surgery.

Story

The time has come for shaving my head. Some people love the hair, some people think it looks like I've morphed into Susan Boyle, Bobby Munson or Grizzle Adams. Meat loaf has also been thrown in there aswell.

I've decided I will be doing a two part donation, the first part is raising money for Stomawise and the second is actually donating my hair to Little Princess Trust.

There is method behind my madness and reasons why, so pull up a chair and get comfy while I explain.  Back in December of 2016 my sister in her infinite wisdom decided to have a routine operation while my parents and I were on holiday (as you do pffft) this operation didn't go to plan and we got a call saying she was in a critical state (yeah cheers for that Jodi). So a long week later we arrived home with my sister still in intensive care. Several procedures later she eventually is on the mend but with a life altering difference, A stoma bag.

I remember going to visit her in hospital and my brother-in-law was about as knowledgable as I was about what Jodi could or couldn't do and how it would change her life. It is one of those things in life you don't expect to happen to yourself or those close to you, but it can and it does.

Jodi is now adjusting to this and as her temper is coming back you can tell that she is nearly back to normal haha.

Secondly I'm going to donate my hair to Little Princess Trust who will use my flowing locks to create wigs for children who have suffered hair loss.  

Personally I'm going to miss it although it will be nice to save money on shampoo, conditioner, conditioning oil and countless bobbles (my hairdresser says I have excellent condition hair).

I'm planning on shaving my head the week before the hockey season starts (I'll just have a cold head for once) Dates and location to follow.

Please please please dig deep and donate as much as you can, it is going to go along way and bring happiness to those who receive it.



Thankyou

PS I have an amazing tangle teezer which will be up for grabs too.
