Jessie Macpherson, aged 10 from Bretforton is going to raise vital money for Cancer Research UK by having her head shaved. Jessie is going to donate her hair to The Little Princess charity who make wigs for children who have lost their hair through chemotherapy. Jessie has been inspired to do this since she took part in Evesham Relay For Life last year and her Mum has made sure that she’s doing it for the right reasons and not just for publicity. Jessie's teachers and friends at Bretforton First School are amazed at her decision and are already making donations – some of her friends are even giving up their pocket money. Another inspiration to Jessie has been Sarah Bearcroft who also takes part in Evesham Relay For Life. Sarah is terminally ill with Cancer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. She had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and was given the all clear early 2012.  Unfortunately in October 2012 she found a new lump and was given the devastating news that the cancer had now spread to her lungs. She had more chemotherapy and is now being scanned every 3 months – she lives her life 3 months at a time. Sarah is still fighting this disease and is a very brave and courageous lady. She has a big bucket list to fill – she has a wing walk and balloon flight booked to name but a few.  

 

Please help us to raise money for Cancer Research UK by donating to Jess on her just giving page or come along to Badsey Remembrance Hall on Tuesday 1 April to watch Jess get her head shaved.
