Wacky Wigs Day Great Success

Suzanne Evans and her Wacky Wigs Family

February 23rd was a day for the Resolven diary at the rugby club. Wales were playing England and the nerves were jangling but that’s not the only thing happening at the club that day there was something else going on that would be talked about for years. it was Wacky Wig Day !

Now I know you are all wondering what and why is Wacky Wig Day?

After a recent operation and course of chemotherapy treatment, regular club member Suzanne Evans had been upset over needing to wear a wig due to side affects of her treatment so in an effort to make her feel better some of her friends decided that reassuring Suzanne that she was as beautiful as ever and the important thing was her ongoing treatment and recovery was not enough . they declared that February 23rd was they day they would ALL be wearing wigs in support of their friend.

The idea grew and it was agreed that it would be a fundraising day to raise funds for the chemotherapy unit at Singleton Hospital where Suzanne was being cared for. Lots of the rugby club customers joined in and not only were there wigs, raffles and collections but Suzanne’s niece Alisha handmade the distinctive pale pink ribbons and they were on sale  too .

There was a competition for best wig that was won by Rhian Evans and even a children’s section that was won by Poppy Williams
