Story

In October 2022 my fiancée and best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Our life, as we knew it, was flipped upside down. Our wedding has been postponed and so many other things changed forever.

I bleached my hair and from there, Tammy (my fiancée) and I both dyed our hair purple. This was done to try and shed some light on a painful and distressing time. To create HAPPY memories, to LAUGH and to stay in CONTROL. 

Tammy has decided that before this horrible disease and gruelling treatment regime takes part of her identity away, she'd like to shave her hair and stay in CONTROL.

Therefore I've decided (along with Tammy's uncle Kenny) to BRAVE THE SHAVE In solidarity. This will hopefully help raise some awareness for Breast Cancer as well as some money for an excellent charity (Breast Friends and Family).

About the charity

Breast Friends and Family support breast cancer patients at St John’s Hospital in Livingston, through diagnosis, treatment and recovery; to provide the little things that make a big difference. Breast Friends and Family has been setup by Hazel, her sister Mandy, mother Sylvia and daughter Holly. Hazel was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2015 which shocked the family but the challenges this diagnosis brought were faced with a steely determination to keep life going as normal and provide Hazel with the support she needed through treatment and recovery. The family realised that patients are supported by a number of cancer charities, each one giving additional support that patients are not even aware that they need. They began fund raising, by dancing, running, walking, knitting, sewing and organising events in support of many cancer charities. Hazel was given lots of support from a local charity based at St John’s Hospital in Livingston. As she recovered she wanted to help and support this local charity so that others like her, having a breast cancer diagnosis, were helped in the way that she was. Sadly this charity is no longer running. Hazel and her family and friends are now determined to make sure that all patients diagnosed with breast cancer at St John’s, are given the kind of help they don’t even realise they need. Providing the little things that make a big difference.
