My Hair Donation

So back in September 2013 I wanted to do a little something for charity as most people do but as I was pregnant at the time so it kind of ruled out doing anything too extreme so after having a look on the good old internet whilst blowing my hair from my face to stop it getting in the way it hit me "CHOP THE LOT OFF" Yes you got it the brilliant plan was to cut off all my hair & donate it to charity seeming as I had enough for a small Army.

So I set about looking for somewhere to donate it to & came across a website called "The Little Princess Trust" providing real hair wigs to children across UK & Ireland that have sadly lost their own hair through cancer treatments & alopecia, so this was defiantly the place I wanted to help! The charity is not only a registered one but also has The Queens Award For Voluntary Services apart of the MBE volunteer group which is pretty impressive. 

I found the website http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/ to be packed with loads of information from short stories to fundraising & event such as "ACROSS THE DIVIDE & PINK CAR RALLY" & steps on how to donate your hair & pennies. With high profile Ambassadors such as Joanna Rowsell MBE Olympic Gold Cyclist, Jennie Harrington Professional Ballet Dancer for The English National Ballet & so many more. Also offering help & support to hospital, parents & careers.  

So on 27th September 2013 with the help from a friend off came my lovely long hair a full 21cm in total we bagged it up & sent it off feeling very pleased with myself in the knowing that somewhere in the UK or Ireland a child would be able to have confidence in their own appearance again. A few weeks later a lovely "THANK YOU" certificate arrived in the post & there it was that nice warm fuzzy feeling you get inside when you know you have done something good that will help others, something that will mean ever so much to someone else maybe even change their live for the better! 

I personally think The Little Princess Trust are doing an amazing thing & deserve all the help & support possible.

Pretty Muddy Race For Life 2014

Unfit, over 30, not done any form of exercise since leaving school over 16 years ago, & just had my third baby Little Miss Poppy, all reasons why I shouldn't do this......BUT why would I listen to the sensible voice in my head screaming NO NO NO this is a bad idea, I'll tell you why!

JUDITH ANNE NORTON


That's why!!! I never had the pleasure of meeting her a GREAT LADY! An amazing mother according to my partner, she lost her fight to this nasty horrible disease we call Cancer a number of years ago now. She raised my partner Davy to become the man he is today & I'm 100% certain she would be ever so proud of him.
Cancer stole her away from him, he never got to share that moment of joy & happiness with her when our little girl Daisy Marie was born nor when our second little girl Poppy Anne was born. Cancer not only stole Judith but also stole apart of my Davy the day it took her.

If I could give Davy & my baby girls just one minute in time with her to say "Hello, I Love You, I Miss You or Goodbye" to hold her, cuddle her or just be in her presence then I would do anything in the world I could to make that happen!

So that's why I'm doing this, I'm doing it in remembrance of Judith Anne Norton our Mam, our Nan &  one unbelievable lady.

The Cancer Research Team are working extremely hard to find cures every single day to save lives around the world & need all the help we can give to stop families going through what my Davy had to go through watching someone he loved slowly fade away & not be able to stop it, he was a grown man when she passed away but that's not always the case small children lose parents to Cancer & I can not image how that must feel, heartbreaking totally heartbreaking.

So I have set up a Just Giving Page to try & raise as much money as possible before I take part in the Pretty Muddy Race For Life on Saturday 28th June 2014 in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
