Going bald for St Baldrick’s

Toby Gibbons: Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Toby Gibbons, a P4 student at Somersfield Academy, who will have his head shaved tomorrow, reflects on going bald in the second in a series on the St. Baldrick’s fundraiser for cancer research.I’m excited about doing St Baldrick’s again! The first time I did it I was kind of nervous because I had never had my head shaved before and it felt funny to feel the shaver going over my head and all the hair falling on the ground. I looked kind of silly afterwards and felt a bit cold so I wore a ski hat until I got used to it but after a while I thought I looked pretty cool. And I remembered that the sick children lose all their hair because of the medicine they have to take to try and get rid of the cancer.So feeling silly and cold for a little while is not such a big deal and anyway my hair will soon grow back. Now that I’m used to it, I’m really looking forward to having my head shaved again!If you would like make a donation, go to Toby’s St Baldrick’s page at: http://bit.ly/gHRQ4T
