Jen Applin hasn't added a story.
Hi!
My name is Jen and I am 23 years old and living in the lovely seaside city of Brighton & Hove.
I am raising money for a charity very close to my heart - Mind, the mental health charity.
Adequate mental health support can be decidedly difficult to come by, with many people having to join long NHS waiting lists, or consider forking out for private care. Unfortunately mental health problems are often immediate, with fatal consequences if not treated, and private care unaffordable for the vast majority of those suffering.
Mind provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Because of Mind, millions more people have access to advice and support thanks to their information and services nationally and locally.
I've decided to raise money for Mind by doing a sponsored buzzcut! (The slightly less dramatic version of a complete head shave!) I am inspired by women in my life who have done the same and I see it as a great expression of freedom - summer is (hopefully) around the corner so I'm hoping I won't be too chilly!
Please donate if mental health is something that has impacted your life or a loved one's life in some way, or simply if you just want to see me buzz all my hair off (there will be video footage)! If you don't want to see me buzz all my hair off - donate so that it's not all for nothing!
I will also be donating my hair to The Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to children and young people with hair loss due to cancer and other conditions. :)
Thanks everyone!
