Today, like every day, 10 children and young people in the UK heard they have cancer. You can help make life easier for them.

Story


On the 3rd May, I will be taking on The Big Buzz for CLIC Sargent and shaving my head back to the wood to raise money for children and young people with cancer, and their families. 

The reason for the growth is that my hair is now over 7 inches long, I can donate my cut hair to
 Little Princess Trust, to be made in to a wig for a young person who has lost their hair. LPT provided me with an amazing acrylic wig whilst I was going through the intensive stage of my treatment, so it would be great to give something back to them, and maybe help another young person... provided my hair is good enough quality! 

The dosage of my chemo tablets has just been increased again, as per the protocol. This isn't a problem for me, but every time the dosage is increased, my hair weakens, gets thinner and malts easier, so I've brought the date of my Big Buzz forward. 

My fundraising goal for this challenge is £170, which would fund an initial CLIC Sargent grant, which is given to a young person within the first 72 hours of a cancer diagnosis. This is to help with the initial additional incurred costs, such as travel and accommodation, and was greatly helpful to myself and my family.
