£95.62 added to total as offline donation...that is the amount that was counted up from the CRUK bucket that was at the event! :-)
Woooaah!! Only ten days left until FHTB is upon us!! I must say the nerves are certainly setting in for me now! As they are most definately for Kim, my fellow shavee! Many of the ladies are going from very long waist length hair ..up to their shoulders....and some are going from midlength to very short bobs.... so its a nerve racking time for all of us..lets face it...a girl's hair usually defines who she is...and long haired lovelies have often nurtured their locks for years!! ..So...YOUR donation makes it worth saying goodbye to our trestles..... And remember... although all money raised will go to CRUK ...we are also sending the hair that is chopped to The Little Princess Trust to make wigs for poorly kids who have lost their hair...so its a double whammy!! Thankyou for your support...its awesome.....xx
Look how well we are doing!!! ONLY 31 days left!! Keep those donations coming!! :-)

HEY!!!!
Thanks for coming! So, on 22 May our £500 target was reached ...awesome and THANKYOU to all.who have already donated..Wonderful human beings the lot of ya!
Now, with still 4 months to go and having raised £504 in 3 months so far, i figure that we SHOULD get that at least DOUBLED by D-Day!! So i have upped the amount on the target page and would love it if you can help!
I have also added a few piccywicks of some of the hair up for the chop...long haired lovelies who are involved by committing a minimum of 7" of hair ( to be donated for wigs for poorly children) ..doesnt sound much..but it is a great sacrifice for someone with loverly long locks...and every one of the girlies (18 of them at last count!) is excited to be taking part and help collect sponsorship!!
So, what are you waiting for!!! Dig deep! ;-)

There is a lot of Cancer awareness floating around of FB so this seems like a great time to remind you lovely folk that i am SHAVING MY HEAD IN SEPTEMBER so if you fancy supporting me and supporting the cause at the same time PLEASE DO!!!! :-) XX
IN ADDITION I have so far recruited FOUR NEW HAIR DONORS! Sadie, Giselle, Jessica and Sarah-Louise have committed a minimum of 7" of the length of their beautiful long locks for donation to the Little princess trust...!!! GISELLE has told me she is tempted to go the whole hog with me and shave her head too....but ONLY if we raise MASSES OF WONGA!!!! SO......GET DONATING!!!!!
BEST MATES SUPPORT!!....Debbie Mouchi-Whipp has been my best friend since i was SIX and has promised to donate hair too....this means A LOT to me because a) her hair has ALWAYS been her trademark lol...and b) because Debbie's younger sister Dawn is the inspiration behind this whole adventure.. Dawn bravely fought her battle with Cancer on and off for about ten years before it finally stole her from us in 2007..... truly a tragedy..but she taught me so much..how to be brave and laugh through the sadness..... i remember her every day xxx
Looky Looky Cheeky Monkeys!!!!! Date is set for 20th Sept 2014!!!!
Well there you are!!!
Yes I know it has been done before, and it will be done again and again, but anybody who knows me knows how nervous i get going to the hairdresser for a simple trim! My hair has been the same for years, long and layered because i am simply not adventurous enough to make any drastic changes!
BUT...IN SEPTEMBER I WILL SHAVE MY HAIR OFF ...we are talking clippers here, number 2 all over.....back to basics..."FROM HAIR TO BARE"!!!
Why?? The statistics say that 1 in 3 of the population will develop cancer of some sort at some time in their life right?
In my life i have personally known 4 people to pass away from this dreadful disease.... and a couple who thankfully have beaten it...
Also, everybody knows somebody who is dealing with the effects of cancer,,either directly as the sufferer, or indirectly as a member of family or close friend.....
When somebody leaves us....the gaping holes that are left behind for the people that loved them take forever to heal.... and anybody who has seen somebody undergo treatment for cancer knows how heartwrenching it can be...and how utterly crushing it can be when the treatment is not enough to save their loved one..
THIS IS WHY I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SPONSOR ME....
Help me smash my Target of £500.......and lets make our contribution to Cancer Research UK and help find that CURE FOR CANCER!!!!
Any amount you can give towards my personal target will be gratefully recieved.....the hair i have cut off will be donated for producing wigs for those who lose their hair through treatment for cancer.
so.....go on..... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!!!!!!!!
