On Saturday we are having a fundraising day for Leonard Cheshire Disability plus Brave the Shave for Macmillan Cancer Support. Rick and Stewart are being sponsored to have their heads shaved and Stewart is having his beard shaved off as well. Their sponsor pages are:

I don't want to have my head shaved so have opted to have a tattoo done instead by a friend I trust. My justgiving page is here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Pip-Hope-Hornsey-Macmillan-fundraiser?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=20160821_49140 (https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Pip-Hope-Hornsey-Macmillan-fundraiser?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=20160821_49140) .
I'm having the symbol without the colours which is strength and courage.

Both Rick and Stewart kept to their words yesterday and I have my new tattoo :cheerleader:
-
That's so totally awesome, Pip! :cheerleader: Wish I had the bravery to get one done! :biggrin:

This is the tattoo I got done and our friend is going to add a bit more to it in a couple of weeks time as it will have healed by then. Just a bit sad that nobody has donated through my JustGiving page.
It's actually my fifth tattoo as I have a bird on my right upper arm, entwined hearts on my upper left arm, unicorn on my left shoulder and a rose on my chest.

Is it too late to donate now that you've had it done?
-
No it isn't too late to donate - link is in my first post. What hurt was that I have sponsored friends when they have fundraised for different charities but none of them donated to my cause.

Okey dokes, I'll go and do it when I've sent this off. It won't be much unfortunately, but it's better than nothing :-\ I feel the same disappointment too 'cos the same thing has happened to me in the past ::)
