My Updates

Thank You ❤️

Thursday 27th Aug

I just want to say a huge, thank you to everyone who supported me during my Shave for a Cure.

Whether you donated, shared my fundraiser, sent an encouraging message, cut my hair /shaved it on the day, or simply cheered me on from afar — your kindness and support meant more to me than I can put into words.

Taking part in the Shave for a Cure was a very special and emotional experience, and knowing I had so many amazing people behind me made it that much more meaningful.

Together, we helped raise awareness and funds for an incredibly important cause, and I’m so grateful to everyone who played a part. 💛

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️

Why I’m Shaving My Head...

Thursday 13th Aug

I’m doing it because I’ve seen what cancer asks of people every single day.

I’m doing it for Letitia.
I’m doing it for Angela.
I’m doing it for every person currently fighting cancer.
I’m doing it for their families and the people standing beside them.
And I’m doing it because I believe no one should have to face cancer alone.

This is my way of standing with my friends—and helping give them, and others like them, hope. ❤️

I’m shaving my head for a cure. Not for attention. For a purpose.

That is why I’m shaving my head.

Thursday 13th Aug

I’m giving up my hair to help raise funds for cancer research and support, so that people like Letitia and Angela—and so many others—can have a better chance at effective treatments, better outcomes, and ultimately, a cure.

If shaving my head can help make even a small difference, then losing my hair is absolutely worth it.

I’m not doing this for attention.

I’m doing it because I’ve seen what cancer asks of people every single day.

Why I’m Shaving My Head for a Cure!

Thursday 13th Aug

I’m shaving my head for a reason that is deeply personal to me. This isn’t about attention. It isn’t about making a statement about myself. I’m doing it because I have two incredible friends, Letitia and Angela, who have both faced the reality of cancer—and because I’ve seen firsthand what that fight looks like. These two women have shown me that cancer isn’t something that happens to someone else. It is happening to people I love. I see the physical and emotional toll it takes. I see the uncertainty, the treatments, the appointments, the setbacks, the strength it takes to keep going, and the importance of having people beside you through it all.
