Story

Just over two years ago my sister, Katie, died after a four year battle with a brain tumour. She had many rounds of chemotherapy which caused her hair to fall out on more than one occasion. The princess trust gifted Katie a wig which was styled just for her and I made her a promise that I would shave off my hair and donate it to the princess trust. 

Katie will be 16 years old on the 22nd January and I felt I needed to celebrate her special day in some way so it's time the hair came off. 

As it's a special birthday I would like to use my head shave as an opportunity to fund raise for little havens, a place that was very important to Katie and our family, by asking for sponsorship. 

Having your head shaved is a big deal for most. It's a massive deal for women as their hair is part of who they are, it's an enormous thing for as I have autism. The mere thought of someone touching my hair scares me so please dig deep and show me your support.  

 Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
