Thanks for taking the time to look at my page! Although the hair being cut will go to a cancer charity in order to make a wig for patients suffering with the hair loss that comes with chemotherapy, I would like to raise money for Jewish Women's Aid through your kind donations.
Last September my mother was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and the chemotherapy she is receiving made her lose her hair. My mum is the strongest woman I know and we are more fortunate than others as she is still fighting and being my wonderful mum. You never think about the effect losing your hair will have on you and in order to support my mum and others like her I will be doing the much easier job of just cutting off 30cm.
My mum asked me to raise money for Jewish Women's Aid by getting people to sponser the hair cut. She is a great advocate for women's rights and the Jewish community so I want to help her make a difference to Jewish women suffering domestic abuse who need the help and support of this charity. Here is their website if you'd like to see the admirable work they do: http://jwa.org.uk
Donate a lot, donate a little, anything will be appreciated. And please share amongst friends if you can.
Thank you, Ruth
