This is Mercedes story:

Most of us have loved, lost and suffered due to the cruelty of cancer holding no prisoners. This time last year my Gramp was told he had 4 months to live ... New research and treatment trials meant he was able to see my birthday having previously lost my dad and gran in just a couple of years, he now leads a healthy life and has no further cancer cells in his body due to this trial of new treatment.

On Thursday 25th October I will be for the very first time dying my hair from my natural almost black colour to 3 painful sessions of bleach before going pastel pink to finish the stand up to cancer wear pink for October campaign.

For me this is extreme, barely wearing make up and priding girls on their natural beauty, clearly voicing to those I love they shouldn't be altering their beauty in any way especially by damaging their hair and body, I would much rather a sky dive but what better cause to do something so extreme for!

PLEASE HELP ME HELP THE ONES WE LOVE AND LETS KEEP THIS AMAZING RESEARCH AND TREATMENT GOING!

Here is Mercedes 'before' picture, and we can't wait to show you her 'after' photo soon!
