Gosport stylist organises dog walk to raise cash for hair loss charity

Mynewhair, founded by Gosport resident professional stylist Trevor Sorbie MBE, the only national charity dedicated to providing information, advice and support to people experiencing medical hair loss.

The event in aid of mynewhair, a pioneering charity making a difference to people suffering hair loss from cancer and alopecia, is sure to get tails wagging with a one mile walk along Stokes Bay Beach promenade featuring a canine ‘sausage hunt’ and finishing at the charity’s BBQ at The Old Lodge Hotel, Alverstoke.

The event will take place on September 29 at 10am.

Walkies for mynewhair will be led by Trevor and will include a canine ‘sausage hunt’ as well as a BBQ with live music; a raffle and stalls selling doggy treats all to fundraise for mynewhair.

Trevor, one of Britain’s most renowned celebrity hairdressers, founded mynewhair, in 2006, in memory of his sister-in-law, Jackie, who lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer.

Trevor said: “I’m extremely excited to be taking part in Walkies for mynewhair with Lisbon, my beloved King Charles Cavalier.

"I can’t wait to meet everyone and their pooches.

"It’s going to be a fantastic day, from taking in the beautiful beach views to enjoying an afternoon of live music, great food and much more.

“Mynewhair isn’t just about hair, it’s psychological medicine for people suffering from hair loss through illness and for many people it’s the missing link in their treatment.

"The funds raised by Walkies for mynewhair will help the charity to touch the hearts of those affected by cancer or alopecia across the UK and internationally.”
