New perspectives, fears and opportunities

Marilyn says...


Shear Inspiration first came to my attention in a magazine article. After reading it I knew that I could volunteer to be a 'shavee'.

Like most people, I had never really given much thought to what it must really be like coping with someone in the family having cancer. Neither had I heard much about organizations like CCF and the difference they made to children and their families. It has been a real education.

On saying 'yes', I thought I would be just popping round to someone’s house; a quick cup of coffee, out with the clippers and that would be that.

I was in for quite a shock, it’s going to be huge. Usually a background sort of person, this is so taking me out of my comfort zone, but I am feeling thankful for the opportunity.
