PIPPA Hosegood of Newton St Cyres has raised £915 for the Wishing Well Foundation by having her head shaved.

The charity organises and funds weddings for those who are terminally ill so that they can have their dream wedding, a cherished memory for many families.

The long lengths of Pippa’s hair were plaited before being cut and were donated to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to boys and girls who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment.

Pippa’s headshave took place at Newton St Cyres Parish Hall before a meat bingo, where there were additional prizes including vouchers for a hotel stay, hair dressing, a brewery tour and lots of other prizes.

Pippa thanked all her family and friends for their support and sponsorship and local businesses for their donations.
