Golfer will get waxed to raise cash for The Christie

-

A GOLFER is set to lose a considerab­le amount of hair to help raise funds for a cancer charity.

Scott Beale, 44, is having his chest waxed and his head shaved in aid of The Christie.

His daring challenge will take place from 4pm on Saturday, August 6 at Houldswort­h Golf Club in Reddish.

Later that night, the club will host a captain’s fun day, which will also raise money for The Christie, the club’s chosen charity for the year.

The event, which begins at 7.30pm, will feature a disco, karaoke and raffle.

It is open to everyone, regardless of whether or not they are a member of the club.

The charity is particular­ly close to Scott’s heart, as he has lost several friends and family members to cancer.

His mum, Nora Beale has also battled lung cancer, but is fortunatel­y now in remission from the disease.

Scott said: “Unfortunat­ely, like a lot of people, cancer has affected not only club members but my own personal life. I have lost three friends and my mother is in remission with lung cancer, so I do as much as I can for cancer charities.

“I’m not nervous about the waxing yet, but I do have a few weeks left to go!”

Raffle prizes include a signed Manchester United football, which has been donated by the Manchester United Foundation.

Scott has already raised more than £300 for the charity, and has set a target of £1,000.

Entrance to the fun day is free of charge, but donations to The Christie are welcome.
