Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page... PLEASE read my story below and PLEASE donate generously to a fantastic cause that is now so dear to my heart...

After doing a parachute jump & other various stuff I had been debating about doing something else, something out of the ordinary for charity, just hadn't been sure what to do or for which charity to try to help... New Year was the turning point for me, New Year, new choices to make, New Years Resolutions... New Years Day I set about finding a charity to help, I stumbled across The Little Princess Trust quite by chance after reading a friends' status update on facebook, she said that her daughter had donated her hair to make a wig for children who'd lost their own due to cancer... I was intrigued, so I looked up The Little Princess Trust only to find that it is actually a local charity that I'd never even heard of before...

Just like that I made my mind up that this was the charity I wanted to help & just like that I decided to shave my own hair off and donate to make a wig and hopefully to make a difference...

The date for my head shave has been set as the 5th March 2010 & is going to part of another fundraising event - 80's Disco Night Fundraiser (
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=291449735967&ref=ts) which will be donating part of it's efforts towards The Little Princess Trust... Please also see Tasha's Journey (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=291449735967&ref=ts#!/group.php?gid=245362589570) which will give you the reasoning behind the event itself...

I have set up my JustGiving page (
http://www.justgiving.com/KLASSK) for all you guys & girlies not attending the fundraiser to donate for my head shave online...You are more than welcome to donate directly to me too, I will add it to my 'offline total' along with your name and the amount...
I would also like to say that if possible I will be collecting money on the night of the 80's fundraiser BUT any money collected on the night itself I would it to go directly to Natasha herself... she really is amazing & has inspired me completely xXx

If my JustGiving page manages to raise no money for the charity but makes one person aware of of what this fantastic charity does to help children & families in extremely distressing times then I'll be happy, bald & happy lol... but I still want you to dig deep & donate, c'mon! =)

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love my long dark hair and also how much I love wigs & hair pieces... My hair will grow back, unfortunately others are not so lucky...

Help me to help others... spread the word about The Little Princess Trust...
