Sadly our son Harry was recently diagnosed with a rare bone cancer. He faces an intense chemotherapy journey and will undergo an operation to remove a tumor on his femur.

Hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy treatment because chemotherapy targets rapidly-dividing cells throughout the body, including the healthy cells that produce hair on the scalp. Losing his hair is what Harry is most worried about.

His close friends know this and as a mark of solidarity for Harry have committed to shaving their heads. Charity head shaves have long been a popular way of raising money for good causes, therefore Harry's friends would like to raise some money for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Young Lives vs Cancer is a leading UK cancer charity for children, young people and their families. Every day 12 children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn and no one to talk to. Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them.

Any amount that people wish to donate will be greatly appreciated, no amount is too small. Thank you.
