Rosemary’s Head Shave
Rosemary was volunteering selling 50/50 tickets at Steelers games, when, like many others, met Amy, and became inspired by her story and selflessly wanted to do her bit to support the hospital. So on the 21st February prior to the game, Jason Hewitt and Rob Dowd shaved Rosemary’s head to raise an amazing £1,357.00! “Amy’s bravery and strength through everything has been inspiring and she brings out the best in everyone she meets.

The following year, I kept my promise and was supported and joined by our friends, Hewy, Ben, Jess and we did the 10K proudly wearing Amy’s name.
