STOP CHILDHOOD cANCER. #shaveforthebrave 21.04.2013

Currently £260 raised for CHILDHOOD CANCER!! :)

Please donate here: www.justgiving.com/Jharmain-Mortimer

Today I "Shaved for the Brave" Today I stood in solidarity with the kids fighting Cancer & also for the kids that have tragically last their battle. At 1pm this afternoon my family gathered at my husband's parents house to watch & support me whilst I shaved my head for charity. :) it was good fun & I have to say, I honestly do think that I totally rock the bald mamma look.

I also wanted this opportunity to thank EVERYBODY that supported me & donated, & for thos who haven't yet, it's not to late! Go to my link at the top of this post & give as little or as much as you can, every little counts! even if it's only £1, it all ups up & goes towards vital research in helping to find a cure for childhood cancer.

I have put together just a few pictures of today's shave & I would love it if you could take the time to look over them.. :) Thank you for reading..X

Me, My Children & My Blog.

My name is Jharmain Mortimer (my friends call me Jharr) & I have suffered with depression since I was 19 years old. I have had some hard times, but I have also had a lot of good times, & I am also blessed with a full time, energetic, six year old little boy, Joel, & our very cheeky but adorable 2 year old little girl, Felicity.

The hard times have taught me so much & have helped me to become the wife & mummy that I am today. I still have a lot of bad days, but I also have a lot of good days! It is the amazing support from family, friends & my Facebook Page & waking up to my two beautiful children everyday that makes me want to fight & become a stronger person.

Originally I set my blog up just so that I had my own little bit of personal space for me to vent, rant & get my feelings out, but then since setting up my Facebook Page & so many people telling me how my blog has helped them, that has then spurred me on to make something of my blog & to help others, to spread as much awareness as I can for the mental illness that is depression & anxiety.

The majority of my posts are of me talking about my life in general, the joys of being a mummy of two, a housewife & living with the ups & downs of depression & anxiety. I would like to think that maybe other people reading my blog that suffer the same as me or similar conditions find piece of mine & no longer feel alone, because none of us are alone & hopefully reading my blog, will help them in some way, because my blog really is my way of coping & anyone who chooses to name call & label anyone for having a blog are only labeling themselves.

#AlwaysRemember: Depression & Anxiety isn't weakness, nor is it anything to be ashamed of. Depression is a sign of strength. because it means no matter how weal your mind might be to you, your heart is still strong enough to feel. so hold your head up high & always be proud of the person that you are!
