Story

They say a woman’s crowning glory is her hair and I am willing to give that crown away to raise money to aid research to improve cancer treatment and hopefully find cures.

No one is untouched by cancer, we all know and love someone affected. My first experience was when I lost my grandad Willie. Recently, I lost my  aunt Marguerite along with many other family
members to cancer, all too early. Presently, I am supporting my cousin Siobhan on her cancer journey. I cannot and don’t want to lose any more people that I love dearly.

My head shave is in solidarity with and to support family, friends and other cancer heroes who are going through or at the end of their cancer treatment. I will donate my ponytail to the Rapunzel Foundation, an Irish based charity (www.rapunzelfoundation.com) and then, the head shave will begin.

Help me to help the experts reduce the power and impact of this disease.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
