SHAVING MY HAIR OFF FOR NCCA UK
After reading a lot about Oscar Knox I decided i wanted to do something to try and help in anyway i possibly could. Most of you will no doubt know that unfortunately Oscar is no longer at a stage where he would be able to undergo treatment and the family and doctors have now turned to trying to " ease his pain" . It was then suggested by Stephen Knox (oscar's dad) that if i were to fund raise for Oscar the family would like the funds to go to the NCCA UK as a thank you for all their help and support throughout this horrific time. I do stress though in now way shape or form did the Knox family ask for any help.
I had first contacted everywhere i could possibly think of to try and reach out to the family including speaking to Celtic themselves and managed eventually to speak to Stephen over facebook. I would like to make it clear that Stephen had at that point made me more than well aware at this time they are no longer fundraising for Oscar however he suggested that if i were that determined to help the family would then appreciate the funds to go to this charity on behalf of Oscar and the Knox family as a huge thank you for their ongoing support throughout this time.
In all honestly i did not know much about the charity and have been researching a lot about them over this past month many of you will be aware of a young boy named Alfie who sadly passed away due to this horrible disease earlier this week the NCCA UK also worked with this young man as well as working with many others (which only now am i beginning to learn the stories of Anya , Mckenzie,Joshua , Sam & Logan ) so apologies to any one i have missed and too their families as as i say im only beginning to learn about this fantastic charity.
For the fact that i didn't know about the NCCA UK at all until Stephen had mentioned them i am now asking everyone to help me raise awareness not only by just donating.
