Cancer doesn&#8217;t care, why should we?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s come together as human beings to fight against cancer. This is my contribution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I could raise money other ways, however I think about the little girl sat at home, not wanting to play outside because the other kids are calling her a boy for having no hair, or the young lady who doesn&#8217;t feel confident enough to go to the prom because chemo made her hair fall out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This day and age the length of your hair defines how beautiful you are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s wrong, so I&#8217;m taking a stand against society&#8217;s beauty standards as well as raising money and awareness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I started thinking about shaving my hair years ago but never understood that I could still feel beautiful and feminine without my hair but now I realise that isn&#8217;t true.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am beautiful with or without my hair and so are you. That being said, I will be donating my hair for those who have yet to find their confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can support Jo by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk\/shavers\/jo-cooper\">https:\/\/bravetheshave.macmillan.org.uk\/shavers\/jo-cooper<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An employee of Nantwich firm Aceso Homecare is braving the shave to help raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.<\/p>\n<p>Jo Cooper, part of the care team at the firm on London Road in Stapeley, is plucking up the courage to go bald on July 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7089],"tags":[7337,7119,7336,7335],"class_list":["post-51786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-aceso-homecare","tag-hair","tag-macmillan-cancer","tag-shave"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
