About a month ago I found a lump and after having it checked out, I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. I am starting 4 months of chemotherapy later today (Tuesday).

So rather than let my hair fall off, I thought I would shave it instead and maybe raise some money for 2 charities in the process. I also hope to donate the hair to a charity that makes wigs for children, if I have enough hair to give. 

This page is collecting donations for Breast Cancer Care

My other charity is called The Helen Rollason Charity

Breast Cancer Care were the first organisation we received help from in the form of information booklets and support forums. Please click the pink "Donate" button above to donate here.

The other charity is a local charity called The Helen Rollason Charity, providing free complimentary therapies including reflexology (to help with chemo nausea), massage, and a face to face support group. If you would like to donate to that one instead, please do so do so using this link.

Obviously this is fairly shocking news but we think it's been caught early (having scans to check this) and the outlook is positive.

Please don't feel you have to give or have to give a lot - this just allows me to feel more in control of what is happening (and we all know I am a control freak!).

Giving on this site is secure (and Gift Aid will be added if you are a taxpayer) but if you are worried about putting your card details in online then email/text me and we can sort something else out.
