Story
I am Emerson Patton and Chair of Trustees for Little Miracles
What charities can we afford to lose?
That's the very real question at the moment and I am asking you all to help me.
Little Miracles supports around 10,000 children and their families. At the moment all of our face to face fundraising has had to be cancelled, our income from fundraising has grinded to a halt but families need our help now more than ever.
So please get involved, get your hair cut, styled, coloured or shaved off by yourself, your kids or family ( Stay safe and social distance only!) and pay it forward to at least 5 of your friends, family and co-workers to do the same and make a minimum donation of £10 for your cut but don't stop there raise more if you care. Don't let Little Miracles be one of the charities that we lose.
Make sure you capture the cut on video or before and after pictures and put them on your facebook and tag @littlemiraclescharity

"My name is (your name) ..... and I am taking the #HomeHaircutChallenge
I pledge my cutting fee to the families of Little Miracles to get them the essential support they need at this time.
And I pay it forward and nominate 5 (or more) others to do the same and challenge them to raise more if they can.

Lets change a child's life today, together we are stronger!"
