GET AHEAD WITH A HAT!

You've got to take your hats off to the CtoG team! Or in the case of Rod, you've got to put your hat on. On strict orders from the doctor, Rod has to wear a hat whenever he is outside for any length of time. This is not because the doctor thinks he needs to be more suave and sophisticated, although that might be the case, but because he has the sort of skin that is very fair and easily burned. He has already had a number ​of pre-cancerous growths removed from his forehead, either by freezing them off, or cutting them out (by medical staff, not with a bag of frozenpeas or a Stanley knife). 

So the walk will present another challenge. Hats make you hot. Sweatbands are inside hats for a reason. Sun cream and sweatbands don't go well together. But in spite of the challenges, Rod is determined to throw his hat into the ring, not literally of course, and take up the challenge of wearing a different hat every day. This will be monitored carefully and given a lot of 'hat-tention' to ensure there is no repetition, duplication or cheating.

Follow this riveting 'hat-venture' daily on our blog from 20th September - and see if Rod's 'hat-tempt' is successful.'

But if you can't wait until then, we also invite you to sponsor Rod to wear any hat of your choosing - just supply the hat and for a £10 donation we will post a picture of Rod wearing it!  The funnier the better.....
