Story

Hello & Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Matt Black (UK vocalist of 'Fahran' and 'A Foreigner's Journey').

I have decided to set up this page to raise funds for Breast Cancer sufferers and once I reach £1,000 I will shave my head.

When I was in my late teens my mother and grandmother were both diagnosed with breast cancer and it was heart-breaking to see them go through so much pain to fight for survival. Luckily they are both still with me today. But both of them had to undergo grueling treatment which caused them to feel much worse and also lose their hair.

At 28 years old, unfortunately for me I am losing my hair through 'male pattern baldness' which is hereditary but I have plans in place to have it restored with a minor operation in 2015...

So before I do so, I've had the idea to make use of my vanity issues by helping others who have real problems.

Please donate, even if it's just a few pounds. Every donation will count and will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Once the target is reached, a video of the shaving will be uploaded to www.mattblackofficial.com
