Hi i'm James and I am 9 years old and I am going to be 10 soon. For my birthday I am going to be........Totally BALD! The reason why I am going to be bald is because I want to shave my hair for charity. I will be shaving my head on Friday 28th September 2018.

My girlfriend at school who is also 9 has had chemotherapy and has lost all her hair. She has a brain tumour. My girlfriend came back to school after the holidays and we found out she had being going through chemotherapy and had lost most of her hair, so she shaved it. At the end of school, when mum picked me up I told her I wanted to shave my head so that my girl friend wouldn't feel like the odd one out and so I could show my support. I know that children can also get bullied for having no hair and I didn't want that to happen. I asked my mum if I could also donate my hair so it could be made into a wig to help other children going through the same thing. I can't do that as my hair is too short to be donated.

Mum went to school to ask them if it would be ok for me to do this and after she went back in to ask, they told her as long as I was fine with it that I could do it. As soon as mum got that news she was off, and dragged me to the barbers at the side of my school. She went in to speak to the lady to ask about shaving my head. The lady said that she could shave it to no1 as it wouldn't be so shocking, but I said no and I am determined to have it all shaved off. My hair will grow back and hair doesn't make you who you are, your personality does.

I then found out on the way back that an old friend of my sisters is also going through Chemotherapy for cancer. She is the same age as my sister who is 14. So I am also doing it for them too. My charity will be click sargent who helps children with cancer.

My mum is getting everything sorted and has been telling me about friends from abroad and at home that are willing to sponsor me for doing this. I want to thank you all for sponsoring me. 

IMPORTANT UPDATE! My mums good friend Ian Simpson is also going to shave his head if we can raise and extra £500 on top of what I am aiming for. So please donate.
