sophieswish Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 On Friday 30th March, Sophie’s Wish, will be asking nurseries, schools, colleges, universities, public sector bodies and office workers to make a donation in aid of the annual Brain Tumour Research ‘Wear a Hat Day’. The campaign aims to raise awareness regarding the prevalence of brain tumours and the need for vital research. From sponsored silences to charity runs and office bake-offs, organisations and people across the city are being encouraged to raise money in any which way they see fit. Brain Tumour Research receives less than 1% of national cancer research spending in the UK yet this deadly disease kills more children and people under the age of 40 than any other cancer. ‘Wear a Hat Day’ is a fun way of increasing awareness and raising money for an often overlooked form of cancer and we really hope that the people of Sheffield will get behind it. For more information, or to get involved, please call us on 0114 213 8391 or email mail@sophieswish.org.uk http://www.sophieswish.org.uk http://www.facebook.com/sophieswish http://www.twitter.com/sophieswish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophiec1979 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 ive finally decided which hat to wear today and im going for a summery linen flat cap in turquoise that i made a couple of years ago for myself from a vogue pattern. needless to say, as it was a vogue pattern, there was more that a little shouting, swearing and stomping involved in its creation! lol they are notoriously bad for instructions and general ease of use- i definitely had to employ the little grey cells that day! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
