Jenny Askew will be taking on the challenge tomorrow (Saturday April 27) at 11.15am at May Vaughan Salon, Talisman square, Kenilworth.

She said: “I am shaving my head because so many people have lost someone they loved to cancer and I want to help support this great cause by raising as much money as I can. Just over a year ago I lost my nan to cancer and in March 2016 my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Having undergone successful treatment she has made a full recovery and is helping support me with this event.

“I have always had long hair so this will be a big change for me! Please donate as support for families going through cancer is so important.”
