Story

Under the current circumstances, places like Dr. Kershaw's are in really feeling the pinch because they are having to cancel events that raise vital funds. The work they do is so important and is too precious to lose. 

My great Auntie Phillis was looked after here, along with many of my friend's family members and the care and environment that they provide is magical and needs to be protected for everyone. 

So I've decided to do my bit! I've decided to "Clip-it for Dr. Kershaw's" to raise funds for this wonderful charity!

On Sunday 3rd May, I'll braid long hair and cut them off! These braids (between 18 & 24 inches in length!) will be donated to The Little Princess Trust (https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/) who make wigs for children with cancer.

Then my partner, Tony, will take great delight in shaving my head, leaving around 10 - 15mm of hair, to avoid any irritation.

This will be filmed for your pleasure!

This is a huge deal for me! I have had long hair since I was little!

So please give what you can. Whether it's a penny or a pound, everything helps!!

Thank you xxx
