Shave for Charity
On Friday 3rd October Alice Reid is having her head shaved to raise funds for Cancer Research. The 17-year-old student will be shorn at lunchtime in the Student Common Room by Charlotte, a stylist from Tracy Chipperfield's salon in Coniscliffe Road.
Alice decided to lose her long dark hair to support her best friend, Laura Rutherford, whose two-year-old niece, Katie Alice Grant, is undergoing treatment for a brain tumour.
Katie's illness has had a huge impact on Alice and Laura and they felt they wanted to do something practical to help others.
Alice and Laura have been close friends since they were at Hummersknott School and both want to go on to university to study History.
