Ben Goes Bald for Sudden (Bereavement Charity)
Donation protected
Hi Everyone! I am shaving my head for the bearavement charity called Sudden!
I had COVID-19 (Coronavirus) a couple months ago and it hit me hard. I went through the acute stage and it was quite scary. I then had a form of Post-Viral Syndrome they are calling 'Long Covid' which 'hit me for six' for 2-3 months after the acute stage, it was like having poision in my veins. Thankfully I have fully recovered from my illness, but my heart breaks for the people who passed away due to the illness and that they could not say goodbye to their family face to face.
Sudden (https://sudden.org/about-sudden/) is a charitable service for people who have been bereaved by a death that happened suddenly or too-soon in someone’s life. Their vision is to get people suddenly bereaved 'the help they need at a time of darkness to move forwards to a brighter day'. Sudden provide a named case worker (over the phone or in other digital ways) from day one, onwards, for up to ten weeks, helping with emotional support and practical issues, and finding extra support for the suddenly breaved in their community.
At the peak of my illness I promised to shave my head when I was better! Well I am a man of my word and I thought it would be fitting to shave all of my hair off to raise monies for Sudden to enable them to do the great work they do. This will be a lot of hair as I have not had a haircut since I became ill!
I will be 'going bald' on Sunday 22nd November so if you could spare some money to donate to this worthy cause then I will really appreciate it. It will ensure that something positive comes out of a really difficult situation.
Thanks so much!
