Shaving my Head · 5 April 2026

The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, we're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are. To donate, volunteer, raise money or campaign with us, call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk

Story

Last year in March a close friend was diagnosed with Cancer and after treatment then an operation over the Summer she was given the All Clear in November. Sadly, the Cancer has returned and so another uphill battle begins for her.

I decided to raise funds for MacMillan Cancer Support, Melton Mowbray & Leics branch by having my head shaved in support of this very inspirational lady whom I admire tremendously.

Barry, who is a welder by trade (but apparently completed a 4 year hairdressing apprenticeship in his teens!) agreed to shave my head - in our village pub - on Easter Sunday 5th April at 7.30 pm…… absolutely no pressure 🫣

Barclays Bank PLC have matched every £ I raised up to a maximum of £750 and transferred the funds to MacMillan on 16th April.

With the funds on my JustGiving page, Gift Aid element, cash pledged but still to collect and Barclays £750 I have raised over £4000 - more than enough to fund a MacMillan nurse for 3 weeks.

Will you help me make it to £4.5k?

Thanks for supporting my fundraising - sadly we all know somebody who has been affected by Cancer and the support they receive from MacMillan helps at the most difficult of times.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
