Story

Hello! On December 20th me and Ben are planning on shaving our heads in respect of both my grandparents. My grandad has had multiple strokes and both lung cancer and throat cancer, he had his voice box took out and has had almost a dozen operations both big and small. Growing up he taught my how to ride a bike, play cards and would always watch the stars with me and I will always hold these times close to me as now it’s hard for him to even speak to me. My nana is the bravest woman I’ve ever met, she looks after him with everything she has every day and is one hell of a woman, I don’t think the family could cope without her! I love them both so much and this is a cause worth losing two heads of hair for. Any hair salvaged will also be sent to the little princess trust.
