Story

As you can see from the series of photos the deed was done!! Its cold!! Just during the 3 nights of the show good people like yourselves donated £573 - if you were one of them thank you. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE AGAIN. I am not giving Christmas cards at work this year I am donating the money along with my humble savings as they need the money NOW - I can save again!

SO FAR and including the Just Giving links there is over £1200 to be split between the 3 of them, at this time of year thats amazing - THANK YOU!!!

On December 2nd, 3rd and 4th I am having my head shaved - left, right and centre! This is for the benefit of children and adults with life limiting illnesses and their families, when the need to visit or stay in a Hospice becomes absolutely imperative.

 

You can witness this if you wish and have a really great evening out at the same time!! My event will take place sometime during the Conquest Hospital Christmas Show – “FROM SUSSEX WITH LOVE” at The Phoenix Arts Centre, William Parker School, Hastings, show commences at 7.30pm.

 

My family lost my Dad to lung cancer and we supported his wishes to end his days at home. It wasn’t easy but we coped very well. I have since realised that a lot of families cannot cope with the emotional stress and physical effort that comes with long term or end of life care when I came across ACORNS, a group of 3 Hospices for children around my home town of Birmingham. I support ACORNS yet I live away from home now and therefore pledge my help to local Hospices too! It is my pleasure to help both ST MICHAEL’S HOSPICE and DEMELZA the children’s Hospice for East Sussex.

 

They all need help, so if I lose my hair for the winter so be it, please help me raise lots of dosh!
