Mum recently lost her courageous battle to cancer. During her last few days she encouraged and watched as I cut my hair for the Little Princess Trust.

I pledged to donate my hair to this charity, but also wanted to start a collection for Marie Curie and Cancer Research.

The family would be extremely grateful if you can spare a few pennies (or pounds) to help support either of these two fabulous charities.

We have chosen two cancer charities that are very close to our hearts. Marie Curie, who have been unconditionally caring, they really are very special people and we will never forget the support they provided to mum and all our family. The second charity Cancer Research has been a charity that the family have supported for many, many years and we would like to continue to help support this charity to hopefully avoid another family going through the pain we have, and in hope that one day they find a cure for this cruelest of diseases which has impacted so many people.

We would like to support both these charities and try to keep the funds as equally as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read this page, with much love from all the Buchan family.
