Frankie's head shave, 9 October 2019
We support children diagnosed with cancer to relieve suffering by providing holidays

Story

My name is Frankie, I am 9 years old and I decided I wanted to shave my head for charity!!

After watching a TV show (Alexa & Katie) where a 15 year old girl shaves her hair off to support her best friend, who loses hers due to chemotherapy, I wanted to do this to support any children out there struggling with hair loss – who don’t have friends like Katie! I want these children to know that it doesn’t matter what you look like or if you look ‘different’ – you’re still you, you’re still beautiful.

My Mum was shocked when I announced I wanted to shave my head and her first reaction was to say NO!! I typically argued my case and my parents are both very proud and willing to support my decision (after a few months of discussing to make sure it wasn’t just a wild idea!)

I’d like to donate my hair to a charity as well as raise funds in sponsorship/donations for shaving it off completely. I have picked a local children’s cancer charity – The Thomas Ball children’s cancer fund – and would really appreciate your help in raising funds for them. Any help is appreciated whether it is sponsoring/donating or sharing the link so it reaches as many people as possible – it all helps. I have a target but would really like to raise as much as I can!!

Once we reach the target (or get close) we will set a date for it to be done!

All my thanks, Frankie X

About the charity

The object of the charity is to relieve sickness and distress among children suffering from cancer and their families. The trustees do this in any way that will be beneficial to the sick child & family. This is usually in the form of free holidays taken in one of the charity's properties on the coast in Hampshire. It also provides play/medical equipment for hospitals/individuals, organises special treats, raises awareness of childhood cancer & donates funds for UK neuroblastoma research
