TWO teenagers shaved their hair off for charity.

Erin Craig, 17, and Abigail Robinson, 17, from Westcliff are raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

They decided to fundraise after losing family members to cancer.

They both had 35cm of their hair cut off for the Little Princess Trust before the shave.

The charity makes wigs for sick children.

They have already raised £1,500, between them, but still expect more donations to come in soon.

Erin has raised £900 and Abby £600.

Abby said: "I have done the brave the shave in the memory of my nan and grandad who sadly lost their battle to cancer, I hope by this I can make other people suffering cancer feel better with my hair."

Erin said: "I did the brave the shave in memory of my aunt who I sadly lost 4 years ago to cancer. I hope my sponsors can help people fighting for cancer and that my hair can help too."

They said they would both like to thank Natalie Norris from Evolution hairdressers for giving up her time to shave their heads.
