I have until March to raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust. So I'm shaving my head. I will also be donating my hair (which is pretty long to be honest!) so it can be made into a wig, or maybe 2!!

Teenage Cancer Trust, what they do:

There’s never a good time to get cancer, but for a teenager the timing seems particularly cruel. Young people can get some of the most rare and aggressive forms of cancer. Their rapidly changing bodies can work against them, enabling the cancer to grow faster. The emotional upheaval of adolescence can make a cancer diagnosis even harder to cope with.

Without the work of Teenage Cancer Trust, young people with cancer would be treated alongside children and elderly patients often at the end of their lives. Being away from their normal life, friends and environment at such a vulnerable time is the last thing they need.

Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for the six young people aged between 13 and 24 diagnosed with cancer every day. They provide expert cancer care in an environment specially tailored to the needs of teenagers and young adults.
