@gavanwall #givingback thank you Gavin for taking part in our #beardsforbandanas campaign and shaving off that world famous beard and now almost 29,000 more people not only tuned in to take the p*ss outta you, I mean some of those comments where pure Gold .... but now those people have heard about our very unique charity #awareness #charity #supportingthebrave

Thank you Ethan for your lovely kind words and we hope you are feeling a little better now, and am so glad you new Bandana has brought that great big smile on your face ..... Ethan and his New adventure have started a wee fundraising page for our charity to say thanks.... so please send him good luck and maybe donate a few pounds do his wee page, as I am sure he would love that #givingback feels good, Thanks Ethan your a BIG ⭐️

Well what can I say but a massive Thankyou to the guys who gave up their #beards on Wednesday, for our #beardsforbandanas day we have reached a massive £1608.39 and still counting, ..... here is a little video of some of those beards saying goodbye 👋 and the men feeling the air on their face some for the first in 14 years 😃😃😃 THANKS AGAIN to our Charity Partners Hydro-Ease for coming up this this fab idea and of course Garrys Barber Shop and Jason from Jason Shankey Salons a...nd Titanic Denim for supporting this event .... was a great day all round .... and I must say quite special for these men as they now realise a little of the feeling our bravekids go through about loosing their own identity.... but at least they have that choice 🎗 #supportingthebrave

7 years ago my wee son and inspiration behind our charity, Todd, had just finished 92 weeks of chemo for his Brain Tumour, Todd is now still classed as “Stable Tumour” it still only seems like yesterday but when milestones arrive like today, it reminds me of what he’s came through and what he still deals with everyday of his life.... but a prouder mum I cannot be this year he’s came off his meds for #PTSD and even started college, something I thought that he would never be ...able to do.... after being out of school for the passed 2 years but as always he’s proved us wrong and my heart is bursting with pride .... yes Todd your such and strong and inspirational big man boy, but you’ll always be my wee boy, who’s life changed the day we heard I am so sorry that mass we found is not a cyst but a Brain tumour xx 😘 😘 #staystrong #childhoodcancer #braintumour #scanxiety #unconditionallove #fightforyourlife

ONE WEEK TO GO - #beardsforbandanas What is this I hear you ask? Well it is exactly what it says on the tin!!!
Would you give up your beard and shave it off so that a brave child diagnosed with #Cancer could receive a #bandana
If YES FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW and find out more details.... and if your answer is NO just follow it anyway and think about #supporttingthebrave in an other way or by way of a donation 🎗 thanks in advance

So happy to be able to give Ethan his smile back..... for those unaware, the effects of a long cancer treatments mean that our #bravekids not only loose their hair once, but like Ethan it happens more than once, and the kids go through all those feelings again and again and again #cancersucks
For those who want to follow Ethan you can find his story at www.facebook.com/EthansNewAdventure

We love B4TH!

Bandanas for the brave has helped to keep my Ebonies head warm in the cold and cool in the heat. B4TB has ensured Ebonie has the confidence to smile when out and about without feeling self conscious. B4TB has given my Ebonie a friend for life and helped with her confidence and use of her Wigglies during treatment. B4TH are fab and Ellen is even more fantastic. Thankyou xx

Thank you very much my son loved his bandana, he never takes it off lol!

Thank you so much for the bandana you sent to my son Matthew, we really appreciate it, he has just finished his first chemo and his hair is just starting to fall out xx

Thank you so much for my daughter's bandana, she loves it! It brought a big smile to her face! At the moment she doesn't like having her photo taken, but if she's comfortable with it later on I will upload a photo.

Thank you so much for Noahs bandana. Very comfortable for him to wear and he loves the super cool Star Wars design. Huge thanks �

Thank you so much for Morvens Bandana, she loves it and has much pleasure wearing it ��

Thank you so much for Fionns bandanas which he got today. He was delighted with his Star Wars bandana. Thanks for putting that beautiful smile on his face xx

Thank you so much Kate so much loved her Bandanna it made her day

Thank you for the lovely Bandana for Alice’s newly bold head, she loves it!

Thank u so much 4 travies bandana! He absolutely luvs it & so do i, I had brought lots of hats/caps 2 keep his little head warm & never even thought of bandana until I found ur page, a brilliant idea of gift 4 kiddies going through such hard times

My family and I had the pleasure of meeting Ellen and Simon this weekend and what can I say other than what a fantastic family they are! It was great to share our stories and hear all about the charity, thank you for making my weekend one to remember, can't wait to see you's again xxx

I have only learned of you today. I have your leavebeen at The Sporting Bears,Rockingham Raceway event. Parents of our charity met with others and heard of you all.very well done xx

I had the pleasure of meeting Simon and Ellen this weekend. We both shared our journeys of being a parent of a child with cancer. They are both genuine people with no airs or graces just with the nugget of an idea to make life that bit easier for any child battling with cancer. Their dedication to the aim of their charity shines through and making a brave child smile top of the list. I have found through this journey of childhood cancer some of the kindest people are those with the most pain, I found found those who give the most, are those who have the least to give, but they do so regardless in order to ease the parent's feeling of being isolated and to make the children smile. For us a parents feeling helpless watching our child battle cancer, we'd do anything to make them better and to be happy again. To those who make our child smile there is a gratitude and indebtedness of the non-monetary kind. What can we do as a way of saying thank you? We show our appreciation by praising their endeavors and pay it forward.

To anyone reading this who has been thinking about donating to or holding a fundraiser for Bandanas for the Brave charity in NI, this is to say the charity is just as it says on the can and well worth donating to. Wishing the charity all the very best with your future growth to bringing more smiles further around this Island and across the pond!

I can’t thank you enough. We arrived home from Amiees 1st week long cycle of chemo to find her beautiful bandanna in the post box. She loved it and has been wearing it non stop. Up until now she had point blank refused to discuss her hair/head options. So this has helped tremendously xxx

Hi i just wanted to thank you for the bandana you sent my godson Ethan. He has had a rough year and diagnosis was slow but he has kept smiling until his hair started to fall out. He was so upset but when his mom found your site and he got his letter and his bandana his smile came back so thank you very much xx

Grace loved her bandana sent so kindly from ‘Bandana’s for the Brave’ what a truly fantastic organisation xx

Brilliant idea, our 4 year old was really excited to receive his camper van bandana. Thanks so much

An amazing group of selfless people who only want 2 make our kids smile and add a bit a fun and excitement with their fab bandanas :)

Amazing products and give the kids protection and confidence. Love from Australia!
