Head Shave for Charity

Catherine has a close friend who survived leukaemia as a child.

She realises how lucky she is to have him as a friend and how unthinkable it is to lose a loved one.

Catherine discussed her idea with her Manager and colleagues at her local ASDA store in Aberdeenshire where she worked. They arranged a date, in February 2008, to do the deed.

I was very excited about doing it, but the scariest thing about the head shave was that it was in front of a lot of customers at the kiosk in the store.

Everyone was very encouraging and generous with sponsorship – including the passing customers!

Margaret, the lady who agreed to cut Catherine’s hair, was a touch nervous about how Catherine might feel after her long hair was all gone.

But Catherine loves her new hair and raised £670.60 for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA!

I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported me and sponsored me. I love my new hair!
