Story
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page! I am excited to share that I have a unique opportunity to raise funds for Bipolar UK, a charity that is close to my heart. Before May 5th, 2026, I will be getting my hair cut short for this charity appeal.
View the gallery to see the hair I'm going to lose. Click on the picture above (me in 2020 before COVID) and swipe left to see me with long flowing locks that what I am saying goodbye to. I have not been to the barbers since February 2020 as they closed in March due to the pandemic
I will have my hair cut off just before I go on tour with Cardiff City Walking Football Club to Salou near Barcelona Spain. You can see how many of my teammates are supporting me by the #CCWFC tags on their donations.
Walking football has been really helpful for me in managing my bipolar condition. Learn more about the club and the sport at https://cardiffcitywalkingfootball.org/
I'm planning to donate the hair to The Little Princess Trust: Provides real hair wigs for children. I will need to find a hairdresser to wash and dry my hair before they cut it in a particular way as specified in the video on this page https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-hair
Any suggestions for a hairdresser welcome.
An incredibly generous individual has pledged £500 towards this cause, and I am aiming to raise a total of £2,500 to support those affected by bipolar disorder.
My Dad just pledged £200 taking us to over £900. He's in team Family and Friends #FF. Don't forget to include your #hashTag and click Gift Aid too.

There is no prize for the biggest total donation unless anyone would like to offer some. Already The Sailing Druid said he will take 4 people at a time from the winning team on the famous "Mermaid Quay Ice cream Cruise" from CBYC across Cardiff barrage with an optional visit to Stuart's pub - the Wetherspoons "The Mount Stuart"
