The Big Shave!

Cancer is something that affects everyone; 1 in 3 are likely to receive treatment for a cancerous illness at some point during their lives, and almost everyone can recall a close friend or relative who has suffered.

I like to aid cancer charities such as Cancer Research and CLIC Sargeant by attending sponsored events, and buying from charity shops, however one of my close friends is going one step further this coming year. Gemma is shaving off her hair in aid of awareness and patient support, and wants to raise £1000 for CR via the website 'justgiving.co.uk'.

She had this to say:

"The past few days I have been sat reflecting on life, as the year of 2012 draws to an end and the start of a new year approaches.  Thinking about how lucky I am to be here, healthy, happy and alive. Some are not so lucky, Cancer has taken the lives of so many, who had so much to give. That is why I am taking a stand.

On Monday 28th January 2013 I will be shaving all of my hair off in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

I'm asking you, my friends, family and work colleagues to support my cause. Any small donation that you could make would make a big difference and help raise awareness.

This is my way of fighting back, a chance to help those who really need it.

Information and updates will be regularly posted on how you can support me through this cause.

Thank you for you time and support."
