Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm braving the shave.

I'm in my 70s, I'm a mum, a grandma, most importantly I'm a cancer survivor.

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018 and, thankfully I came out the other side. I know first hand just how much cancer can change your life, and how important the support, research and care provided by cancer charities can be.

So now I have decided it's my turn to do something to help. I'm going to *brave the shave and have my hair shaved off* to raise money for The Olive Tree, yes you heard that correctly, at my age, I'm voluntarily giving up my hair!

It might seem like a small thing, but if shaving my hair can help raise money to support people going through cancer and make a difference to someone's life, then it's absolutely worth it.

Having been through cancer myself it means a huge amount to me.

I'd be incredibly grateful for any donation, no matter how big or small. Every penny will help me reach my fundraising target and support a cause that is very close to my heart ❤️ and if you happen to see me afterwards and wonder what on earth I've done to my hair, you'll know I'm doing it for a very good reason. ( no laughing).

Thank you so much for supporting me, Linda xx 💕
