Story

CANCER! 

For all my family and friends and for all of you who have felt so utterly helpless when someone they know and love is hit by this indiscriminate disease. 

I didn't know what to do or say " If there's anything I can do" I said. But what can you do? Apart from being there for them - do some shopping, provide support or whatever. 

So, as I chatted to my friend and she casually said " I wish my hair grows back as quickly as your hair grows"..... an idea came to me.

She had lost her sister the year before to cancer and her father-in-law to cancer 6 months before that. Our family, from here to the other side of the world, and other dear friends have also been struck by this terrible disease and I have to do something, however small.

My hair is now about 15 inches long. I have decided to cut it off and donate it to make a wig for someone who has suffered the loss of their hair through chemotherapy and hopefully in the process raise some money for Cancer Research UK. 

It's only hair - and I have the choice. 

I will post photos before, during and after. If you would like to help in any way that you can or sponsor me in aid of Cancer Research UK I would love to hear from you.

Thank you. Ex
