Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year it will be 16 years since my brother Giacomo lost his battle with Leukaemia.

Every year my family have devoted a weekend of their time to the Alternative Hair Show in London to raise money for Leukaemia Research, presenting an amazing hair show at the Royal Albert Hall.

It Includes hairdressers from around the world putting on an impressive display of hairdressing in a Catwalk like fashion. 

It was set up by my Uncle who sadly lost his Eldest son Valentino to Leukaemia and then 16 years ago my younger brother also lost his battle with Leukaemia.

When they started the show, the survival rate for someone with Leukaemia was under 30% and now over 20 years later it is now 80%.

This year I will be devoting myself to a bit of Alternative fund raising by throwing myself out of a perfectly good airplane.

We hope to raise money in Valentino's & Giacomo's memory, and also to aid the research and support that the charity gives for children and their families.
