SHAVE!

On Saturday, some people in our hostel shaved their heads or dyed their hair an extreme colour in order to raise money and awareness for the Luekaemia & Blood Foundation.

This shaving of their heads got me thinking. I would have cut some of my hair off but this did not seem like much. I would have shaved my head but i kept on coming up with the following excuses:

• i love my hair and i know i would bawl my eyes out
• If i wasn't doing a teaching degree then yes i would

The whole time i was watching people have this done, it reminded me of when my brother had cancer back in 2007.

Since Saturday i have continued to think about hair shaving and cancer and a whole lot of other things.

So what is happening inside my brain?

If all is okay with my lecturers and tutors (as i have a solid four week teaching block straight after), then this year during CanTeen's Bandana Campagin, i am going to shave my hair in order to fundraise and raise awareness for CanTeen.

I still know that i will bawl my eyes out, will certainly need a hand or two to hold and i will be scared but I just know that it is something that i need to do at some point (especially after seeing a lot of people doing this on Saturday).

As long as i have the support of Mum, Dad, Ash, N@, friends and significant others in my life, then this thing which seems like a massive task will seem so much easier. I

Will keep you updated with the progress re talking to tutors/lecturers and information about how to support etc.

Till then keep safe and know that God love each and every one of you.

Love and blessings,
