  • Want to make a little girl happy and win a Troy Lee Jersey???

    Hey all,

    My little girl has decided to cut her stupidly long hair off so she can donate it to the little Princess Trust. This charity was set up to make wigs for children with health problems which can range from cancer treatment to alopecia.

    I’m extremely proud of her not only because I know how much she loves her long locks but mainly because she’s 7 and decided to do this all herself!!

    Each wig costs up to £500 to be made by the charity so as well as donating her locks she’s also trying to raise some money whilst she’s at it. She’s almost there now and very close to the £500 she wanted to raise so I’m having a last push in the hope we can put a smile on her face as big as the lucky child that will end up with a 20″ wig!

    I know times are tight and I’m not one to come on here asking people so as an incentive I’ve got a brand new Troy Lee Designs short sleeve jersey that I’ll give to one lucky donatee. So if you’ve got a couple of quid in your paypal account and fancy a new jersey it’d be awesome if you could help out.
    You might get a cool jersey for a bargain price or worse case scenario you’ve made a child very happy and ultimately karma will swing around when you bump into that hot girl / boy you see every few weeks.

    Donations can be through her justgiving page here….
    https://www.justgiving.com/eviep

    If you make a donation, post on here saying so and I’ll get her to conjure up a prize draw for the jersey later!!

    Joanna Rowsell is also ambassador for the Little Princess Trust if you need any further tenuous cycling links!!!

    I do love the kindness of strangers!

    Just noticed there’s an anonymous donation on there. Make sure you either put your name on there or here so I don’t miss anyone off the prize drawer!

    Such a great thing to do. donation paid over. and I’ve spread the link around a few people at work and others, they may not be into cycling but that’s not the point here is it.
    keep up the good work

    Thanks easygirl and crapjumper.
    The totals doing amazingly. We have also received a few offline donations so could even hit over £1000 when all done. Astounding!!
    I’ll leave the drawer until Sunday eve in case we get any last minute donations and Evie want to conjure up some method of selecting that currently includes the dog 😕

    Thanks everyone once again!

    To note, I won’t be giving the jersey away if I win 🙂

    How much inc offline is she away from £1k?

    £783.00 Online
    maybe £100.00 offline but I’ll try and get these online over the weekend.
    I reckon she’s very close now. Theres also a couple of boxes we made up at the school and the hairdressers who’d doing the chop so should hopefully get a few quid from there as well.
    Add to that the £185.25 in gift aid additions currently online and it might even be on its way to £1500.00 which is quite frankly crazy!!!

    The girls doing good!

    that is awesome!

    Depending who your employer is they may match fund at least part of the fundraising that’s taken place
    A lot of places don’t advertise it
