Marianne Eddie & Helen brave the shave findraiser

Hello everyone 

Disclaimer the following post may contain a criminal level of  grammatical and spelling errors,  (dyslexic adhd autistic and partially sighted ) I shall do my very best to minimize this.   

My Name is Helen myself and my family are chopping our hair of to raise money for this charity right here.

I have taken it A little further and I have  a TikTok live event to stream  my head shave and it going so well .

I started this fundraiser because I. Have had much personal lose due to cancer beginning with my grandad whom I never got to meet to my step dad last year , but it has expanded. I started talking about cancer my experience  what I have learned and what helped me  and the most amazing thing happened  the support of my friend fellow online connection made  some of which are coming to share their cancer stories to remind those while we have fin the whole reason why we are here is very serious and important.

Cancer isn’t bias  at all  it can and more often than not does impact us  and while we can go back in time and save those we love what we can do is  talk passionately  the more people who talk the more the population is armed  the more cancers are diagnosed earlier on the more of us survive but truly the real fire in my belly the reason I do not care for being bald  this charity is working to bring in to fruition a reality with out cancer and I want that for the future  we all do of course we do.   On a side note as I have layers I cosine donate my hair for a wig  so a lovely wrist who is fighting cancer can have it  but o had a lovely hair dresser takes all hair tips  and conditions  and collaborates to make wigs for cancer patients  so Everton of of my hopes for this fund  raiser have been made possible.  I do keep tagging cruk in my posts to see if my content would   be any use for adverts promotions .  This is also my first  cruk fundraiser I’m so exited I have a whole team moderating my live  on Friday have some true warriors joining me to speak there experience and I have a really beautiful online community while it will be fun it won’t lose sight of what matters  raising money and awareness   We have been the Opportunity it is those that have already donated and will donate and those of *** off and Rita has made it already so successful   I’ll update you all on how the live goes and good luck with all we your own  fundraising too
