Johanna Fielding has shaved her head three times in the last 20 years to raise money for causes close to her heart
A Blackburn mum shaved whole head of hair to raise money for a diabetes charity after her husband lived with the condition for 40 years.
"And I think with diabetes, because people look well, well the majority do. If you don't know diabetes then people don't know what diabetics go through." "There's so many diabetics and there's so many Type 1s as well." Johanna explains how important it is to see people with the condition in the public eye: "One of Strictly dancers has one and I thought, well he must be diabetic!
Having known young Madison Allan who passed away at the age of seven from neuroblastoma, Johanna wanted to do what she could to raise awareness for the charity by shaving her head. Then in 2018 she did it all again for the 'Minnie Event' she took part in to fundraise for JDRF, a non-profit organisation that funds the research into Type 1 diabetes and managed to raise £1,400.
"Alan, my husband, through diabetes he had a lot of laser treatment on his eyes and he was partially sighted," Johanna explained. "So I kind of found that it was a really good charity to support. I think when you're goin through it all, you know you've helping others through the Guide Dogs."
