A BRAVE charity fundraiser is preparing to go under the knife for a worthwhile cause.

Chris Hopkins is braving the shave in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support at a special head shaving event at The Navigation Inn in Greensforge this Friday (September 2).

The fundraiser has promised that if he is able to raise more than £1,500 before the event, he will not just clipper his hair off, but he will undergo a wet shave as well.

Chris said: “My partner has done coffee mornings and the like in the past for Macmillan and she just wanted to do something different to raise money for them.

“I am doing it to give her support, and I am a lot more organised than she is!

“I have stated if we reach the target I won't just have my hair clippered, I will wet shave it as well.

“We are trying to make it a bit of an event to try and raise as much money as possible, rather than just going to the barbers, or doing it at home.”

The event will take place at the Kingswinford pub from 7pm on Friday evening.
