Keep Your Hair On
My dad, Prakash, died in 1999, at the age of 47, after suffering a heart attack.
My brother, Ritesh, died in 2015, at the age of 33, following an epileptic fit.
Dad was all about family, and making sure our futures were bright. He pushed us to be better than him academically, and instilled a work ethic in us, in order to achieve our goals. Not just for his own children, but for his nieces and nephews.
He was the butt of our jokes due to his obsession with him going bald. He was never a vain person, but you could see how much his balding affected him. He never spent money on himself, unless it was linked to finding a cure to his balding. He would use all kinds of lotions and potions in the hope something would sprout on top of his head. If he was around today, he would have had a hair transplant by now.
In his memory, we would like support two charities. the Little Princess Trust and the Heart Foundation.
My brother was always a kid at heart, and he was always the one the younger kids would go to.
He was nutty in the kitchen too, making things like Bacon Curry (Don't ask!)
In his memory, we would like to support the epilepsy society.
Apart from holding a charity event in November, there will also be charity lunches happening too. We want to raise as much as possible in memory of these two wonderful people, who are sorely missed on a daily basis.
