My friend Bronya Clare was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer early January 2015. Single Mum to son Oliver, Bronya is only 37 years old.

Bay of Plenty

My friend Bronya Clare was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer early January 2015, she has 2 tumors, one is very large. She is to start her treatment in the next couple of weeks, 6 weeks Radiotherapy, 6 weeks Chemotherapy, 6 weeks rest before her operation. Bronya is 37 years old & a single Mum to her son Oliver who turns 5 in May.

I am shaving off my hair in May 2015 in solidarity for Bronya & to help fund raise money for her to help with bills & anything that may help her with her recuperation.

Bronya is a strong & independent woman, so doing this for her would mean the world to me in knowing that we can lessen her load on the money front & that she can concentrate on kicking CANCER to the curb!!! So all donations big or small would be greatly appreciated in helping Bronya on this difficult journey she is about to embark on. The money raised will help Bronya with normal day to day expenses & hopefully it will also help with items that may aid her in her recovery & make things a little easier on her with taking that financial pressure off. I know that Bronya would LOVE a Heat Pump for her little 2 bedroom house, as it suffers terrible condensation.

Bronya is a very good friend of mine, I was terribly upset when I learnt of her news. Me shaving my hair off is a small gesture of support, letting her know that she is not alone in this fight against cancer!!!
