Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As all of you who know me are aware, I have recently had a spate of bad luck. Starting with David Bowie disease (Labyrinthitis) and continuing on a roller coaster ride of ridiculous medical issues which finally lead (5 months later) to a Vitamin D deficiency and a 7 week treatment of mega doses of the mighty D! I  have been, in part, unable to walk, unable to drive and unable to concentrate on basic tasks. Thankfully I am now well on the road to recovery. Having had a taste of what people with long term illnesses face every day, I want to make good from my bad situation.

One of the 'side effects' of taking medically ridiculous levels of Vitamin D all in one go is rapid hair growth. To put an end to this the final chapter of my illnesses, I feel it would be fitting to donate this 'bonus hair' to a good cause. Therefore, I am going to donate my hair to The Little Princess Trust (http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk). In short, they provide real hair wigs, free, to children with cancer. Of course they can't rely just on donated hair and they also have to buy wigs for children, which on average, cost £350 per child. Therefore, to show your support, I would like to ask all of you to make a donation to the princess trust via this page so that you can all laugh at what will soon be a long line of my very bad hair days with a happy conscience. 

So, if you want to laugh at what I'm sure will be a long road of understanding how to style short hair, please donate here! Big thanks you to Guy Kremer for generously giving his time to "chop" and style me! So at least for one day I will look amazing! 

Thank you to all of you, both for your donations, and also for your support and friendship through some very tough months.

P.s. I would like to make special thanks to Guy Kremer who is kindly donating his time to do my chop on Thursday 30th April! And also a thank you to the Hampshire chronical for their support.
