Harrogate man to shave lockdown locks for hospice tomorrow
A Harrogate man who has been growing his hair since before the first lockdown in March 2020 is to have it shaved this weekend to raise funds for Saint Michael's Hospice.
Graeme Fenwick will be left completely bald at The Harlow on College Street in Harrogate, where he and wife Linda will be wearing t-shirts supporting the charity.
Linda has been supporting him and sharing the fundraiser on social media to raise as much money as possible.
She said:
Since then, they have raised more than £1,600 and some donors have promised to attend the event on Saturday to see Mr Fenwick shave his head in person.
A local barber will remove his locks but friends and family will also be able to have a go with the clippers.

Saint Michael's, which provides care to people living with terminal illness and bereavement, is close to the couple's heart as Ms Fenwick's dad and other family and friends spent time at its Hornbeam Park hospice.
The pair said they have been overwhelmed by the response they have had on their JustGiving page.
Ms Fenwick told the Stray Ferret:
