What started out as a bet (maybe influenced by alcohol) has turned into a fundraiser with me growing my hair for a year!! Having had short hair for 25 years it is definitely going to be a different look at the end of the year! We are raising money for 2 charities. The Stroke Association, who have been amazing with help for my wife since she had a stroke and for D12 Cancer Ward at Southampton Hospital.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough. But the brain can adapt. Our specialist support, research and campaigning are only possible with the courage and determination of the stroke community. With more donations and support from you, we can rebuild even more lives.
