Story

Very recently one of our group of loveable rogues received the unfortunate diagnosis of non-hodgkins lymphoma.

He is undergoing several rounds of chemo to hopefully cure this and so far smashing it like an absolute champ!

One of the side effects of this, as for many people going through similar treatments, is loss of follicles. So, as a gesture of solidarity (admittedly a relatively small sacrifice for us) the rest of our group are joining him by taking clippers to our lids to “brave the shave”!

Please, if you can, dip into your pockets and sling a few quid our way. Our efforts will be worth it, whether we raise a quid, a tenner or a few hundred pounds, but obviously the more the better 😊
