I am shaving my head to help raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. I am doing this because of my grandpa.

My grandpa was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer. He had surgery and was in hospital for two weeks. I could not visit him because of covid-19. My grandpa is my best friend. He is 80 yrs old, he is kind, funny and brave. This bowel cancer has changed his life but it has not stopped him being happy. He is my inspiration. I love him very much.

I chose this charity as it felt important to me because it had affected my Grandpa, and affected all my family emotionally.
