Raising Awareness and Money for Rape Crisis

Here is a vlog of my daughter raising awareness and money for Rape Crisis by having her head shaved in public last week, on the anniversary of the day she was raped four years ago.  (Her hair is being donated to the Little Princess Trust to make a wig for a child with cancer.) 

And here is my other daughter, also a survivor, doing the shaving. 

I was proud of them both before.  Now I'm nearly bursting.   

Here is a link to the blog that tells the story, and another to Jennifer's Justgiving page.  If she can do this, then odds are you who are reading this can make a donation, even if it's just a very small one - it all helps. 

Jennifer's Hairy Truth: Taking This Day Back

What you look like doesn't matter.

How the world sees you is unimportant.

Your social status and accomplishments count for nothing.

  

What matters is who you are.

 

Today Jennifer, aided by her elder sibling, took back a day that was stolen from her four years ago and turned it into landmark of positivity and pride on her continuing journey of recovery ... 

 

... raising in the process a substantial sum of sponsorship money for Rape Crisis and donating enough hair to the Little Princess Trust to make a wig for a child with cancer.   

 

 

Jenny's JustGiving page is here.  You can still support her by making a donation, or, if this isn't possible, sharing this post and Jennifer's blog as widely as possible.  Thank you.

Jennifer's Hairy Truth

My daughter, Jennifer, is fundraising for Rape Crisis by cutting and shaving all her hair off in the summer.  (Her lovely, honey-coloured hair will go to make wigs for children with cancer, so it's a win-win situation unless you are her (superstitious) mother who really doesn't want to see her baby with no hair but that's by the by.)

It would be wonderful boost to her resolve if her initial target of £250 could be reached as soon as possible.  If you feel able to help, please visit her JustGiving page and make a donation .  Thank you.
