Hinckley girl shaves head for Diabetes UK

Available for over a year

Aisha Jenkins has bravely shaved off all of her hair to help create more awareness around Type 1 diabetes. Aisha is from Hinckley and was diagnosed with the condition in 2020 when she was just 15 years old - and because of a reaction to using insulin, her hair began to fall out. Two days before her 20th birthday Aisha asked her friends to do something for her - shave all her hair off. As a result she's raised over a thousand pounds and the money is still coming in. Kelly Hinch began by chatting to her about what it was like when she first was diagnosed.
