Story

As many of you will know Rileys dad Rob is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer. This is currently incurable and Rob is on chemotherapy for life to try and control this awful disease. For the second time Rob is losing his hair, this has come after 3 months of him growing it back! To show support for his dad Riley has asked if he can shave his head on his 12th birthday (next friday) in return for some sponsorship to raise money for a fantastic charity called the Willow Foundation.

The Willow Foundation arrange special treats for seriously Ill people between the ages of 16-40. We were lucky enough to be in touch with them last year and they arranged for us to have a weekend we will never forget watching Everton play at Goodison Park. We also had a tour of the grounds and then met some of the team. This was an absolute dream come true for Rob and Riley as lifelong Everton supporters. Riley said from that day he would raise some money to give back to the Willow Foundation so here we are!

Riley has set a target of £300 to shave his head and it would be amazing if he could reach this. He wants to do this on his birthday in 5 days so we dont have much time 🙈 anything you can give is greatly appreciated x

 Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 17,000 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and Huntingtons disease.
