Caitlin's Words:

You never feel quite so helpless as when you hear that someone you love and care about is going to be hurt. This is how I felt when my mum got her diagnosis of Breast Cancer in March this year. Therefore, I am choosing to cut off the 'crimson curls' that I am so often recognised by in order not only to raise money for and awareness of a great charity,  but also to show solidarity with the thousands of women going through the ordeal every day. Breast Cancer Care is a wonderful charity that aims to support and care for those with breast cancer as well as making both men and women aware of how to keep safe, check themselves, get early diagnosis and know that someone is holding their hand.

Chris' words:

When I heard that Miranda Powell had been diagnosed with cancer, my first thought, beyond shock, was of the many kindnesses she has shown me over the past two years - meals cooked, advice and encouragement given, wisdom shared. I can think of no better way to show both gratitude and solidarity through difficult times than to shave my head for Breast Cancer Care. As a specialist breast cancer charity, BCC provides invaluable support and care for thousands of women going through something similar.

2nd September is the day and any support you give us is so greatly appreciated.
