I’m finally able to give back to all those that helped me out during my cancer diagnosis in 2015. I am going to run/ walk/ crawl the VHI Mini Marathon on 6th June to raise funds for the Wicklow Hospice Home Care and the Arklow Cancer Support Group. These are…
So the past few months I have documenting as best I can the progress of the fro. You never notice how much it’s growing because you are always comparing it to the long locks before… Looking back on all the pictures, it amazed me how far it has come. Bushy…
