Story

Three Brothers. One Charity. Infinite Regret.

In the UK it is estimated that more than 420,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed annually - around one every 75 seconds.

We have all been affected by cancer in some way. But for me and my brothers, this time it's personal..

When our mum was diagnosed with cancer this February, we did what any emotionally mature sons would do:

We panicked.

When we had collectively finished panicking, we decided to make it all about us by sacrificing our glorious - if somewhat receding - locks for charity.

So...

Thee grown men.

Three heads of hair (of varying quality).

All coming off in one glorious, barbaric, aerodynamic moment.

We’re doing this in support of our mother, and to hopefully raise a little money for her chosen charity: Cancer Research UK - the world’s largest independent cancer research charity, whose work over nearly two and a half decades has helped double UK cancer survival rates.

But why should we donate, I hear you ask?

Because watching three brothers slowly realise their heads are shaped like oddly‑sized potatoes is priceless; and honestly, if we’re willing to expose our skulls to the British public then the least you can do is chip in a fiver.

And because our mum deserves all the support we can give her.

What you can expect:

- Photos

- Videos

- Regret

- The warm glow of knowing you’ve helped fund research into new breakthroughs that bring us closer to beating cancer for good.

So please donate whatever you can — big or small.

Help us turn our collective midlife crisis into something genuinely good.

For Mum. For charity. For baseball cap sales.
