My name is Tamara, I am 33 years old and love reading, board games and martial arts.

On Sunday June 7th I will be shaving my beloved hair, currently approximately 80cm/31in in the Jubilee Gardens in Wiveliscome, Somerset.

All money raised will be split between two very worthy charities.

The first is Cancer Research UK for the many people I’ve known that have fought this great battle, those who won and those who, sadly, lost. Cancer Research UK funds scientists, doctors and nurses to help beat cancer sooner. They also provide information and education about cancer to the general public.

The second is Wivey Cares, a local charity which works to support those in our community who need help, whether through age, illness or accident. Wivey Cares links local people in need of help with microproviders, local people willing and able to offer care and support within their community. As well as providing training and support for those microproviders so they can give the best care possible.

As a microprovider myself I can’t begin to explain how rewarding it is to know that what I do actually matters to the people I support.

Any donation will help make an impact. Thank you in advance for your contribution to these causes which mean so much to so many.
