Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page  I would be so grateful if you could help me to raise some much needed funds for a very special Merseyside children’s charity. 
Stick n Step provides emotional, and educational support to children with Cerebral Palsy. Focusing on a holistic educational approach, it’s not a therapy or a treatment, but a method of teaching practical ways to manage the additional challenges that accompany a disability. 

My 3 year old great niece, Iris, attends Stick n Step weekly. Iris has a rare neurological condition which means she needs lots of help to move and learn, and to fulfill her potential in life. The amazing staff at Stick n Step have opened their arms wide and welcomed her in to their world, offering the kind of love and support that is so often missing for families of disabled children. 
Iris really loves going there, and her Mum Anna has said about them: 
“It’s easy to feel a bit lost as a disabled family. You often find yourself on a never ending search for answers and support. When we found Stick N Step last year, arriving into their warm and caring environment was the biggest relief. They went out of their way to use their experience and expertise to help Iris achieve her goals when we were struggling. The determination they show to help your child do even the simplest of tasks is humbling, and takes the biggest weight off your shoulders as a parent carer. Being able to go there every week is our privilege.”

What to do to raise some money?  
I have long bemoaned the monthly ritual of ‘getting my roots done’ and have always had a love hate relationship with my unruly curls. I have threatened many times to shave it off and start again, embracing the grey hair I have worked very hard to get. 
And so, on the 26th July, that is exactly what I am going to do - Brave the Shave! 
Let’s face it, at my age, I’m going to look pretty grim for a couple of months, so please soften the blow by helping me to raise some money if you can,  for this small charity, that is totally reliant on donations. 

Thank you, from Iris  and me x

P.S video of the event will be posted on the afternoon of the 26th July
