Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!

On a personal note my family have personally seen the toll a heart condition can take on a loved one and have been through the worry, stress and uncertainty of multiple surgeries and recovery. We are eternally grateful for all the medical help and emotional support we have received from both professionals and friends and family alike, and this is my way of saying thankyou, and hopefully helping others to survive and thrive as well as we have .

I will be doing my head shave on Saturday 16th February, at the St Ives Slingmeet in Carbis Bay at 11.45am If you'd like to come along and support me, or even do a bit of the shaving! My sister is also doing the head shave with me, but in a location in Somerset where she lives, and will be donating her money towards a local hospice. Her page name is below..

The hair we shave will be donated to a cancer wig makers, so this is a triple donation in a sense.
