THIS 16-YEAR-OLD has braved the shave to raise money for Macmillan after her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Summer Williams, from Abergavenny, decided to raise money for the cancer charity Macmillan after her 83-year-old grandmother was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer.
“It has given me the motivation to raise funds for Macmillan who do a great job of helping other people in similar situations,” she said.
“Although we as a family don’t currently require these services, the Macmillan nurses and charity are an undervalued service who will put any money raised to good use”.
She originally set to raise £500 but has so far reached over £1,200.
