A MOTHER from Woosehill has raised more than £2,000 for charity by shaving her hair off.
Sandra Ostridge, 53, braved the shave on New Year’s Eve to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of her mother, Helen Kinch, who passed away last year aged 75.
Family and friends joined Sandra at Inspirations Hair and Beauty salon on Saturday, December 31 to watch her hairdresser daughter Chelsey cut off her long locks.
Due to the length of her hair, Sandra now intends to donate the cuttings to the Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for children with cancer.
Sandra said: “I am very happy with the results, apparently I have a good shaped head!
“It was very emotional with lots of tears at the end, but I never changed my mind or wanted to pull out, I am just so happy we raised so much money.
“Inspirations were very supportive and raised around £300 from staff and clients. We received several donations on the day from clients who joined us to toast my mum, we got through two magnums of Prosecco!”
