Sponsored Head Shave

On 10th June my heart and soul were shattered when Ernie my only and constant companion, my love, my comfort, my joy, passed away after a short but very brave battle against cancer aged just 8 years old 💔

Ernie’s passing has broken me in a way that I’m unable to even put into words.

Very quickly I realised I needed to speak to someone who wasn’t emotionally involved.

I nearly contacted the Samaritans but decided to google to see if there was a specific pet grief counselling service.

That’s when I discovered the charity the Blue Cross.

The counselling I’ve received and continue to do so, has been nothing but amazing, and all free of charge.

I’d never heard of The Blue Cross before then, and when telling family and friends I quickly discovered that hardly anyone else had heard of them either.

A charity that does a whole lot more than just pet grief counselling.

I knew I wanted to do something to say thank you, to raise awareness of the charity and most importantly raise money.

Which brings me to the 1st October and the sponsored head shave.

No matter how big or small, if you could please make a donation, I will be so grateful.

And if you could please share my post with all your friends, family and co-workers, to not only raise as much as possible but to also spread the word about this amazing charity.

I am also donating my hair to the Little Princess Trust, who will use it to make wigs for children going through cancer treatments.

Thank you
