Hair today, gone tomorrow for Maddy!

I will be shaving my head to raise some funds for an incredible family as they cope with their daughter Maddy's terminal cancer diagnosis.

Canterbury

Maddy is a special young lady who at just 8 years of age has put up a brave, and incredibly gutsy fight against cancer, following her first diagnosis of a brain tumour being in March 2013.

Devastatingly Maddy and her family have now been told there is nothing more doctors can do....her cancer has returned and this time there are just too many tumours for Maddy's wee body to fight.

Her parents Rachel and Craig, and elder brother Henry are understandably shattered and completely heartbroken.

Maddy's such a lovely wee girl who dreams of swimming with dolphins, taking a train trip and enjoying her brand new pug dog, named Batman.

The big shave will take place on Monday, February 8, 2016 with Maddy playing hairdresser
