My DDiL braved the shave last week, along with countless others no doubt. She went from almost waist length hair to a very short crew cut (a number 1 I think on the shears).
She was raising funds for Macmillan who nursed her father before he died earlier this year. She wanted to raise £1000 but raised 2 1/2 times that amount including gift aid.
Well done darling!
We had our first light frost last night, -1.5C. Slightly warmer nights though for this week predicted.
Well done to your daughter in law, a brilliant effort. She'll notice the cold for a while!
ReplyDeleteOur first frost too last night
The girl done good!
DeleteWell done to your DDiL-it's such a truly selfless gesture to lose that amount of hair in order to raise much needed funding.What a lovely way to honour her father. Was the hair used to provide wigs? My daughter recently had many inches cut off her hair but not sutable for wigs a she colours it. Catriona
ReplyDeleteAlso dyed so couldn’t be used. Her workplace filmed her having it done, very brave.
DeleteWhat a brilliant thing to do! And, what a huge amount to have raised. Well done to her. (Probably adding a hat to her Christmas list?) Although a big change for her, I bet she feels liberated to be free of all that hair.
ReplyDeleteShe looks good with short hair, hat already provided.
DeleteYou must be very proud of her- and what a great achievement. Particularly brave to do this as the weather turns so cold- I hope she has been given a cosy woolly hat to wear!! I cannot speak highly enough of the Macmillan charity- my experience of their work for friends and family has been so positive.
ReplyDeleteWe are!
DeleteHow fantastic, and what generous people she has around her.
ReplyDeleteFamily and work colleagues mainly.
DeleteWell done. Congratulations to your DDIL for raising so much.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
She did well didn’t she.
DeleteWell done DDiL! Wonderful that she exceeded her target by so much.
ReplyDeleteStopped getting added to for a while then took off again, some even added after the event!
DeleteWell done to your daughter in law. An amazing effort.
