BRAVE THE SHAVE: 30th June
Hello!
As many of you may know, I love my hair and I love going wild with it - from pink, to blue, to silver, and to accidental oranges and greens. Something I have always wanted to do is shave my hair, but I have never built the courage to do it. When my sister got ill, I wanted to shave my hair even more - not just because she, somehow, was even more beautiful without hair, but I also wanted to do it as a way to say "I'm with you". Unfortunately I, and people that know me, talked me out of it, saying it was a rash decision and I shouldnt shave my hair. Its definitely been a while now, and I'm still here wanting to shave it off; so it's now or never!
Shaving my hair isnt just going to be a statement, I also want it to be a reason to fundraise for the Hospice in the Weald. They provide incredible care for patients with terminal illness, my sister having been one of them. They helped us ensure she was as comfortable as possible, and they looked after us during one of the most difficult times our family has gone through. They kept us smiling, even when it seemed impossible.
And so, I ask you to please donate as much or as little as you can to this brilliant cause, in hopes to help people like my sister and my family. Even the cost of a coffee (as you might be able to notice from the lack there-of during lockdown) can go a long way, as a donation.
Thank you so much,
Niamh

More information about Hospice in the Weald: Hospice in the Weald provides care to patients with a terminal illness, their families and carers in West Kent and Northern East Sussex. We are there 24 hours a day to help, support and care for patients with an illness where a cure is no longer possible, or where patients will at some stage die from their illness. The care we provide is completely free of charge to our patients, their families and carers. We are not part of the NHS, and we need to raise 7 million pounds every year to fund our services.
