50 cuts in 50 hours for Tami's Wish...

Today I was lucky to help out at an amazing event called 50 cuts in 50 hours, raising funds for Yes to Life and Prospect Hospice in memory of an inspirational woman called Tami Brown who sadly lost her long battle with cancer in July. But her legacy lives on with Tami's Wish, ran by her family and close friends who are continuing to raise funds for the charities close to Tami's heart. This event is to break a world record and also record funds for these two charities, with hairdresser Chis Miller of Miller and Holland in Old Town, Swindon (https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Miller-Holland/216936305084879) attempting 50 hair cuts in 50 hours!! Amazing! There was also cakes, children's nail painting, 10 minute massages and facepainting which is where I came in!


I spent 7 hours on a gorgeous hot day (not that I would of known) face painting the children (and some adults!) of Wiltshire. From pink tigers, butterflys and superheroes, with lots of glitter! I had great fun helping out, so much painitng that my white and black facepaints ran out!! I also had the pleasure of painting children who I used to look after, at the Children's Nursery and Lyneham Village Pre-School. It's so great to see them growing up! And still remembering me!


 
There was also amazing music from Swindon band Colour the Atlas (https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/colourtheatlas) which defo shows that Swindon has alot of talent!! I also painted one of the band members cheeks!

                                   

I wore my Wiltshire's Dazzling Beauty crown and sash and this lil princess looks beautiful wearing the crown don't you think? A few hours in and the paint still stayed! :) This event is still going on, all the way til Monday morning! So if you are in Swindon please check it out and make a donation, or even get your hair cut and be part of a record! If you cant make it, there is something that anyyyone can do, pick up your phone, thats it, in your hand! Now open up a text and put the digits CUTS50 £5 (or however much you want to donate) to 70070. See you don't even have to move out of your seat and you've done something amazing! Or donate via here http://www.justgiving.com/50cutsin50hours. I am honoured to have helped out at such an amazing event, and want to help out as much as I can in future Tami Wish events. Wishing good luck to Chris, Kris and the rest of the team!
