Mostly I am wondering if anybody would find me if I hid behind the shed tomorrow morning but there are other things crossing my befuddled mind.

Of course I am Braving the Shave primarily for the benefit of cancer victims and that is where the money will go but they, of course, are patients and are receiving the best care available to them.

The one image that comes to my mind every time I let it wander to tomorrow is that of the Jewish girl in the Nazi propaganda video who is being shaved in the street. Somewhere inside I hope I am showing some kind of solidarity with those who, like the German Jews, have nowhere to turn to get help with their oppression.

This is just how I feel, as well as nervous!

Try not to think about it Sharron. Just think of all the people you will be helping.

I am going to a funeral next week of someone who died of cancer last Tuesday (she was 64). Her family have gone through a dreadful time. They will be so glad there are brave people like yourself willing to help such a good cause.

And our lovely son in law died of cancer Christmas 2014 he was 63. Our daaughter is so far in remission from breast cancer and was very much helped by the wonderfull MacMillan nurses when her husband died, so we appreciate their help and yours for helping them. there are people who are suffering from cancer as well as families of those people who have nowhere else to turn but the likes of MacMillan nurses. So yes, in a way showing solidarity. <3 <3 <3

My darling Dad died of cancer when I was 17 , he was only 56. I still miss him so very much

My husband had cancer in 1985 when our boys were still at primary school. We were some of the lucky ones as he got over it and has gone on to be fit and healthy. The MacMillan Fund helped us out financially at the time with train fares so that I could visit him in Newcastle hospital. I had never heard of them at the time and it was the hospital almoner who put them in touch with us.

We had a lot less money in those days and it made a real difference so we always try to give to the charity whenever we can. They do so much more for families than you could imagine.
