Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My life changed drastically when I was diagnosed with High Risk Myelosdysplastic Syndrome in November 2013, and I have been receiving regular chemotherapy sessions since then. Linda (my wife) and I have received a lot of support, counselling and therapies from The Mulberry Centre, and I want to thank them by raising some funds so they can continue providing support for people affected by cancer.

To achieve this my darling brother Robin has been growing his hair for over a year, and he and I will be shaving our heads for sponsorship money for The Mulberry Centre. Robin is travelling over from New Zealand to do this, and the grand "shedding of the hair" will take place on Sunday May 10th at Ross Poole Salon, 7 Albany Parade, Brentford, TW8 0JW. Thank you so much for this Robin.

Spectators are welcome, as are anyone else who wishes to join in and have their barnets removed for this charity. There will be tea, coffee and biscuits available. This memorable event will be captured on video for posterity, and will be posted on Facebook and by email.

Please feel free to sponsor us for as little or as much as you can. Every penny will help The Mulberry Centre provide more support for people like me.

Update 16th March: My dear brother Jamie has volunteered to join us to have his barnet shaved off. Hats off (or on if it's a cold day) to him. Thank you Jamie.
