Story

NEWS: Please come along on the 19th August to Up The Junction Bar, 231 London Road, Reading at 18:30 & watch the locks fall away, you can even snip one off yourself before Ryan from Electric Hair in Reading gets his hands on the razor!!!

 

Hey guys,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

There have been a few rumours going around and I can now say YES - I AM SHAVING MY HEAD FOR CHARITY!!!

"WHY?" I hear you cry! ...

Well ... I think it takes a fair few nerves of steel for a woman to commit to shaving her head and figured this would be a fantastic way to raise money for something I care passionately about!

"Ok, Tan, what do you feel so passionately about?"

 Simples ... Education! I believe that everyone who wants to be educated should have the opportunity. I am a student studying education at Reading University and there are so many places in the world where going to school is simply not an option.

Hence why I have chosen SOS Africa to donate my hairy monies to. They sponsor children whose families can't afford to send them to school ... please visit www.sosafrica.com for everything you can possibly want to know about them, they're good people!

I will let everybody know the date (it'll be in late August) and the venue so you can all come along or even join in if you fancy, there are a few brave people out there that have offered to dye their hair or wax something alongside me! It'd be great to see you all and have your continued support!!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
