SPONSORED HEAD SHAVE

Oldest son Jon Harris, an apprentice electrician, and friend George Tilbury will do a sponsored head shave for Dandelion Time, the Kent Messenger’s Charity of the Year, at The Five Bells in Halling tonight (Friday).

He said: “Mum always talks about how good Dandelion Time has been to the family and I wanted to do something for them in support of her.

“I haven’t cut my hair since September and I usually get it cut every week. I am nervous, I’ve never been bald before, but it’s for a good cause.” When the fundraising total hits £6,000, landlady Samantha Thomas will also get her head shaved.

Christine Colyer said: “I’m proud of him for doing it. They call him Gorgeous Jon in the pub because he’s always touching his hair.

“I can’t thank Dandelion Time enough for their kindness and compassion, I just can’t put it into words. You feel so looked after and loved from the moment you step in the door.

“They helped Daniel but deep down they also helped me.”
