Raising money for Mind, Macmillan Cancer Support and LOROS, the Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice

Story

Hi everyone!!

EGGsausted many many many puns thinking of what to call this page! It was getting ridiculous but here are a few notable mentions:

ApocaCLIPS Now ... with Shearlotte Atkinson, Baldilocks and the Three Charities, Raging Bald, Jack the Clipper, Close Encounters of the Shaved Kind .... you get my point...

I am shaving my hair right off in the hope that you lovely lot will help me raise some proper good mega dosh for three amazing charities.

Yes three, I couldn't settle on one and had to narrow it down because they're all so wonderful! I narrowed it down finally to the following:

MACMILLIAN - an amazing charity offering support to people and families affected by cancer.

LOROS - which is an incredible Leicester based hospice that runs entirely from donations. Anyone who has experienced the services they provide knows how amazing they are real-life angels on earth.

and

MIND - offers the support and information for anyone affected with mental health issues and undoubtedly saves lives. 1 in 4 of us experience mental health issues every year and with the impact of 2020 mental health support is crucial now more than ever.

I'm going to be donating my hair to The Little Princess Trust, which is absolutely amazing and makes wigs for little ones who need them.

I'd absolutely love to hit a lovely £500 to each charity but I'd also like to absolutely smash that out of the park too - I'd love to double it!

I've tried to set the page up so you have the option to donate to the individual charity of your choice, so pick a team member (they're all me!) and each page is a different charity.

I hope I've done it right and am making sense here!!

We know it has been a rotten bloody terrible year for all of us, rocking back and forward in our little lifeboats, bobbing along, trying to cling on with white knuckles and ride the tsunami of the rona and 2020 anxiety-inducing goings on. So please give what you can, even if it's a super small amount, because what these services consistently provide is absolutely paramount to the people that need them. Please have a dig in your pockets and donate what you can, and come on I need some encouragement, I really don't want to be Baldilocks and the Three Hairs for a tenner!

And don't worry, I've not completely lost my already questionably low marble count. I have my personal reasons for doing this too, but it seems irrelevant and self indulgent to explain those when talking about these charities ..... and it's only hair, it'll grow back. Saying that, I'm definitely still going to have tequila binges , cry, burp, puke cry, immediately regret it, absolutely love it, hate it and all the in-between feels. I'll do a video and have a little chat about how, why and when the braving shaving is taking place but you can also keep up to date with me and come laugh at my potato head on Instagram @atkinsoncharlotte.

Obviously will be filming it and taking some pictures in the in between stages looking like Richard O'Brien in the rocky horror show for added hilarity

Love you lovely lot, hope you're all doing okay.

Please put your hand in your pocket to give what you can and help give me the encouragement and boldness to be the baldest ...

Charlotte
