HOW WILL YOU GET HATTY?

Wear A Hat Day is not only brilliant fun and a great way to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research; it’s also a wonderful way to support those affected by this devastating disease.

Tres Timms was inspired to fundraise after her lifelong friend Kathy Patterson lost her husband Lee to a glioblastoma (GBM).

Shop director Tres organised an event at Fairhaven Wholefoods in Letchworth Garden City, where staff wore hats and customers were encouraged to donate or buy a wristband or hat badge. Customers who wore a hat and donated also received an extra loyalty stamp and were entered into a prize draw.

Tres said: “Lee’s death was completely shocking and devastating for all those who knew and loved him, not least Kathy and the boys. We are determined to do our bit to support Kathy and to help fund research so more families like theirs don’t have to suffer in this way.”
