NEW PROJECT!
We (parents of teens fighting cancer, specialist health workers, teenagers, other fundraisers, and the amazing Charlie Miller) are at the very early stages of a wonderful new fundraising project for Teenage Cancer Trust.
As many of you will know, when some people undergo chemotherapy, they lose their hair. That's tough to cope with at any age but especially so as a teenager. Teenagers are given acrylic wigs but you can't do much with these wigs. We have heard of a number of instances where the journey from losing hair to acquiring a wig was fairly traumatic.
Our goal is to make that journey easier and more pleasurable too. We will publish a leaflet or booklet, written mainly by
I am sure as we progress, we will modify our plans but it is a wonderful opportunity to help teenagers with cancer right now. my personal goal is to raise £10,000 at the two fantastic fashion events in September and November. Of course, if you would like to contribute to our NATURAL ILLUSIONS fund, we would love to hear from you!teenagers who have lost their hair and who really understand what happens. We will also provide real hair wigs to teenagers - these wigs are much more natural than the acrylic wigs and can be fashioned to suit different moods for different days! And finally, we plan to provide an aftercare service.
