Imperial Health Charity helps our hospitals do more through grants, arts, volunteering and fundraising. They raise funds to support the five hospitals of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust: Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea, St Mary's and Western Eye hospitals.

The Dresden Hardship Fund, in particular, helps support families suffering extreme financial hardships as a direct result of being in hospital.  This can include assisting with:

- travel and accommodation costs,

- funeral expenses,

- babycare essentials

- clothing

- other critical need items.

Losing my distinctive "luscious locks" and having it shaved off may seem crazy, but don't worry it should grow back for this 'loco chico'.....hopefully!!!  :-O

Besides, my 'crazy lady' colleague, Ann Freeman, has also shaved her signature red hair off for The Dresden Hardship Fund within Imperial Health Charity! ;-)

Most importantly, your donations in support of this dual madness will make a real difference to families facing increasingly challenging times due to ill health.

Huge thanks goes to Contrasti Hair and Beauty Salon in Paddington who kindly volunteered their services free of charge for this very worthy cause.

In addition, I have donated my cut ponytail (11 inches) to providing real hair wigs for children and young adults who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

Therefore, every single £ you donate will make a real difference, so please, please support my crazy colleague, Ann, and I, following our big shave off on Thursday 26th July - hottest day of 2018! :-D
