Hi family, friends, friends of friends, colleagues and colleagues of colleagues, ice hockey players and fans…

My wife Rebecca is currently going through what we are calling a ‘blip in life’ as she undergoes treatment for Breast Cancer. Thankfully, for us, this will be a blip — though we know many others are not as fortunate. Within the industry where Rebecca and I work, servicing the Property sector, there have sadly been countless cases where Breast Cancer has taken some of the industry’s greats - Rhona Green and Sarah Edmundson, to name just a couple – alongside many others who have also suffered but, thankfully, recovered.

Where we have been fortunate is that Bex found it early, which is why we are supporting the charity CoppaFeel!

Since Rebecca’s diagnosis, we’ve been shocked at just how many young adults are also being diagnosed with breast cancer. With Rebecca being under 40, it has really highlighted the importance of raising awareness and educating people about the signs and symptoms. Breast cancer isn’t something that only affects older women, and the earlier it is found, the better the chances of successful treatment - which is why we’re so determined to spread this message far and wide.

Rebecca will, unfortunately, lose her hair during chemo, and I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

For the first time in my life, I’ll be shaving my head too. I have no idea what I’ll look like, but I’m proud to do it to support my wife and a charity we both believe in so strongly.

Please give as much as you feel able to help us support this incredible cause.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

I'm ready to brave the shave...
