Raising money for Francis House

In memory of Joshua Lapi

Story

I have been growing my hair for 3 years so I can donate it and raise money for Francis House Children’s Hospice.

Francis House provides a home from home, where families of children and young adults with life-limiting conditions receive professional care, support and friendship.

I have chosen Francis House because it holds a special place in my heart. My best friends son, Joshua Lapi, spent a lot of his life there, making special memories with his family and friends.
Josh was born with cancer so even as a baby, Francis House was like a second home to him and his family and Francis house remained like a second home to them right up until he passed away at just 13 years old.
 Francis House now offers support to Josh’s parents, his brothers Alfie (11) and Oscar (6) and his sister Felicity (3). The support and counselling they all receive will continue for years to come.

I would like to raise money for this charity so other families going through what my friend and her family went through (and is going through) can get the help and support they need.

I will be having my hair cut and donating it to the Little Princess Trust so it can be turned into a wig for a child who has lost their own hair through cancer treatments and other conditions. I am asking to be sponsored in doing this so I can also raise money for Francis House children’s hospice. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every penny helps. Thank you for your support and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
