Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I intend to raise money by shaving off my hair. This is a feat that frankly terrifies me, but when I think of the people close to me that have been affected by cancer, I'm not so scared anymore. They give me courage and I want to honor them and everyone else that is affected by cancer every single day.  I have recently gone through stages of dyeing my hair crazy colours and people have asked why. This is the epic finale to the colour saga that people will recognise.

The lifetime risk of being diagnosed with Breast Cancer is 1 in 8 for women in the UK alone. And for Testicular Cancer it is 1 in 190. These may see vastly different, but I want to do my part in reducing both of these figures and more. 

I hope you wish to support me and like I said:

Cancer started this fight and we're going to finish it.
