Sarah's headshave, 3 July 2021
We would like to extend our Community-Based Acupuncture Service (CBAS) to provide parity of access across the county and make the service more accessible to Cancer Patients. But to do this and run the existing service we need to raise £23,000

Story

The Sussex Cancer Fund works with the NHS to create new and improved facilities for cancer care in Sussex, including purchasing specialist equipment, providing additional patient services, refurbishment projects and funding cancer research studies. It is likely that every Cancer Patient in Sussex will have benefitted from something the Sussex Cancer Fund has provided. #RaisedInSussexStaysInSussex.

I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in April 2021.  The treatment that I have received and continue to receive is awesome and I would like to give something back.

I am undergoing chemo and therefore I am going to lose my hair anyway.  Losing your hair is a very personal thing, but I wanted to share this to raise awareness of the Sussex Cancer Fund.

I am going live on FB on Saturday at 1pm to have my head shaved.  We are asking for donations of £5 (or whatever you can afford, it all helps) to come and take a watch and support.

Thank you in advance.
