At the I Can Therapy Centre, we’re all about strength, resilience, and community spirit – and this week, our very own Move More Coach, Heather, has embodied all of that and more by taking on a heartfelt challenge: braving the shave for Macmillan Cancer Support.

On Wednesday 28th May 2025, Heather sat in the hot seat and had her hair shaved off in front of a supportive crowd of customers. With half her hair already styled into her signature quiff, it was no small gesture – especially as she admitted, “although my hair is already half shaved – I truly love my quiff, so I’d like to shave it off for charity.”

So far, Heather has raised an incredible £1,465 for Macmillan – and the donations are still rolling in.

For Heather, this wasn’t just about making a statement. It was personal. “Too many people I know have been affected by cancer,” she shared. “It can hit any of us – none of us are sadly exempt. One in two of us will be affected in our lifetime.”

Choosing to brave the shave close to her birthday also held deeper meaning. “Being grateful for another year makes you think how lucky you are,” she said. Her courage and selflessness touched everyone around her and reminded us all of the importance of supporting those impacted by cancer.

Heather’s fundraiser is a powerful reminder of the strength within our I Can community, and how one act of kindness and bravery can inspire many.
