Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, I’ve decided to do something a little bold… or should I say bald!

I’ve built a career around hair. We help people express themselves through colour, style, and a good cut. Hair is often tied to identity, confidence, and personality . So choosing to crop mine off completely isn’t something I take lightly! … not going to lie I have sweaty palms even writing this 🤣

Very soon, I’ll be taking the plunge and getting a full buzz cut—not because I’m trying out a new summer look (though who knows, it might catch on), but to raise Money for cancer research, a cause that’s very close to my heart.

Cancer has made far too many unwelcome appearances in my life. Not just my Cancer journey but It’s impacted people I love deeply—my Mum, my Sister , and others close to me. Seeing their strength and resilience made me want to take action. I may not be able to cure cancer but I can still help raise awareness and funds

If you’ve ever wanted to support a good cause, this is your moment. Please consider donating, sharing this with your circle, or just cheering me on as I say goodbye to my hair! Every single donation, big or small, adds up to something life-changing.

Thanks in advance for all the support. Let’s raise some Money and make a real difference for everyone that has had or may have a cancer diagnosis at some point 💜 It’s just hair, and it grows back. But the impact of your donation? That lasts a whole lot longer.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
