The Winter Shave · 19 January 2019

Freewheelers EVS is a free out of hours emergency medical courier service operating in the South West of England. Our volunteers ride adapted motorcycles to carry blood, neo natal breast milk, & medicines to hospitals and hospices. We also deliver blood to two air ambulances 365 nights of the year.

Story

I am cutting my hair off and donating it to the "Little Princess Trust" a charity that provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young adults that have lost theirs due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

I am increasing pressure to go the whole hog and shave my head aswell. I really dislike having short hair and can safely assume that I will like being shaven even less. However this does provide a good opportunity to fundraise for another excellent cause.

I am a member and rider for Freewheelers EVS, a free, out-of-hours emergency motorcycle courier service for the NHS (commonly known as Blood Bikes). We carry vital samples and supplies including blood, medicine and breast milk between hospitals and home addresses to save lives and drastically cut costs for the NHS. More information can be found at http://www.freewheelers.org.uk/

If the target of £500 is reached before the annual BBQ this January I will "gladly"... get my head shaved. I believe £500 is a very achievable amount and a significant sum allowing our motorbikes to stay on the road and making a difference for our beloved NHS.

Please give what you can and maybe you'll see me go from long hair to no hair very soon.
