Thank You

Well Friday has come and gone and we are sporting our new hair, getting lots of compliments and well done's on the event. Our hair is making its way to the Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children with cancer.

Thank you to all who have supported us and the donations received to date.

The idonate page is open till the end of March so there is still time to support our event. Monies go to the Irish Cancer Society and the Ben & Jake Connolly Trust.

Donations can be made using the following link:

A special thanks to Michelle and the staff of Christle Hair Company for cutting our hair and running a competition to raise funds also. Cathy Bishop also gave her time on the morning to come and take pictures, thanks again Cathy. If you want to see more of the pictures from Friday check out this link:

Some of our Cousins came in on the day for support, as Ruth had donated her hair last year also for kids with cancer. Pictured below are Ruth, Isobel and Roisin.

I have to say I am tremendously proud of Isobel, it was such a nice and brave thing for a little girl to do. When I explained I was doing it and where the hair and money would be going she also wanted to help out. I asked her why she wanted her hair cut up so short and her theory was that she could give enough to make a wig for a boy and a girl.

The spirit of my dad will always live on in her, she has such a big heart and always wants to give.

Ready, Steady, Cut .............................

On the 18th of March myself and Isobel will be donating our hair to the Little Princess Trust who make wigs for Children with Cancer in Ireland and the UK. It is something close to my heart as my dad underwent several rounds of chemo during his battle with cancer. The day he was diagnosed I was with him and his only question was would he lose his hair. It has always stuck with me, you think a man wouldn't mind as much as a woman, but I suppose it takes away your privacy and way of dealing with your illness.

****UPDATE*****

I have now set up a donations page on idonate: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/11258419_siobhan-and-isobel-duff-s-fundraising-page.html

********************************************************************************* 

As part of the process I hope to do some fundraising during the Month of March for two great causes.
The Irish Cancer Society and the Ben & Jake Connolly Trust. They are two that are close to my heart.

Everyone unfortunately has had someone they love have to battle cancer. My own dad passed away after a six year battle. You can make a donation to them at: http://www.cancer.ie/get-involved/fundraise/how-to-donate

The second are two little boys who live locally, Jake unfortunately passed away recently at the age of two; which devastated our local community.

To read up on the boys and the trust please visit their website: http://www.benandjakeconnollytrust.com
