Two women 'brave the shave' for Knaresborough school
Two women from Knaresborough have shaved their heads to fundraise for The Forest School in Knaresborough - the school supports children with additional needs.
Sarah Bennington and Michelle Czupcyck both work at the school and wanted to do their bit to raise much needed funds. The school is in need of new playground equipment and additional sports facilities.
The women shaved their heads today at the school.
The pair had hopes to raise £500 but have already surpassed that by raising an additional £100.
