Tina’s Chop For Charity

Lloyds Pharmacy employee Tina Miles has taken the company’s support for Alzheimer’s Society to a whole new level, quite literally with her hair! Tina’s mum suffered with dementia and after she sadly passed away, Tina decided to set herself a personal challenge to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society. She called it her “Chop for Charity” and set up a just giving page with a target of £500. Tina said that if she raised the £500 she would have her long hair cut short, and if she raised more she would also dye her hair blue. Customers and residents from Croxton where Tina lives donated and her target was quickly reached. By the time Tina’s appointment came around, with the total exceeded £500, so blue hair was on the horizon! On the 6th July, Debbie of Diamond Scissors on Brandon Road, Thetford, cut and dyed Tina’s hair. Thanks to all the people who so generously donated, Tina raised a total of £710, “I would like to say a big thank you to Debbie and all those wonderful people who supported me and made my challenge a success”.

There are several things we can do to help boost our energy levels and promote feelings of well-being. Things such as meditation or Tai Chi, or having regular massage. There are numerous ways to access information on how to meditate these days or join specially run classes. Massage is an ancient and powerful tool, working on both psyche and physical levels. The use of Hot Stones in a massage are extremely effective and boost the power of a traditional massage considerably. The stones are made from Volcanic rocks which can hold the heat for up to 30 minutes. It is also claimed that 1 stroke of a traditional massage would equal 5-7 when using the hot stones. It is deeper and very relaxing, helping to promote a greater sense of well being. Therapists need to be specially trained to perform this type of treatment. I suggest, don’t wait until you have some of the symptoms mentioned above, try preventative measures and release your inner happiness!
