Story

Just before Christmas 2022, just weeks after giving birth to her 2nd child, my friend, like so many other people, received the devastating news that she has cancer. 

This terrible disease has affected too many people and to support my friend I have decided that my weird shaped, pea head must brave the shave and help raise money to a charity that does such amazing work.

Mummy's Star is the only charity in the UK and Ireland dedicated to supporting pregnancy through cancer and beyond. Your donation means that women diagnosed with any cancer during pregnancy or within a year of a birth are able to reach Mummy's Star and the specialised support they offer. They help families to meet others in a similar position, offer small grants to relieve some financial burden, give support to partners and the wider family, promote awareness and support research. Thank you!
