Story

Sometime's life isn't fair. This week, we all lost a dear friend, boyfriend and family member in Sam Baker. Sam had the most infectious attitude towards life. He had a love for life and an infectious smile and laugh that could brighten up any room. Sadly, he passed away from a Brain Aneurysm this week and so I am trying to raise a bit of money for Headway. Headway are a charity based around brain injuries, providing support and information for those affected.

I have chosen to shave my head because I know Sam would've rinsed me for it, and I hope somewhere he'll be laughing as I transform into an egg. I'll be posting the results on social media so if you need details feel free to contact me to see the transformation.


UPDATE: Sam's brother in law, Andy Dyas, will be joining in with the head shaving. We are planning to do a livestream on Facebook and will post details once it's arranged!
