Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having been diagnosed with Grade 3 breast cancer, I was faced with a lot of change and challenges. Being pragmatic and someone who likes to be in control of my life, I wanted to be the one to decide when my hair was to go, not the cancer or chemo, so I shaved my head. I want to inspire others to take control and embrace the change. Be brave, be bald and be beautiful.

So I had a bit of fun re-enacting the famous Demi Moore scene from G.I.Jane. Let's be clear, I am not kidding myself here, I am no Demi, but I want to show that power and beauty comes from within. (Massive thank you CH Video in Reading who filmed this for me on green screen, they did an amazing job). You can watch my head shave 'G.I.Jo' Head Shave here: https://youtu.be/odkSYoi9Jsc
