Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After seeing the devastating affect of mental health in men and feeling privileged to have never felt low to even consider taking my own life, I have decided to try and raise some money and awareness.

As soon as i reach my target of £500 I am going to shave my head ( number 1 all over ).

Those of you who know me well will know I love my hair and how ridiculous I will look without it, but it's a small price to pay when I can hopefully help some people with their struggle.

Please donate anything you can to help the cause 🩵
