KING’S Ely Sixth Form student, James Wilkinson, has raised £240 for Cancer Research UK by shaving all his hair off.
James, who is in Year 12, decided he was going to brave the shave last month and his brother, Ollie (an Old Elean), did the deed on February 13th.
James, who has been at King’s Ely since joining King’s Ely Acremont Nursery, said: “Cancer has affected my life, people close to me and countless others. Cancer can cause so much devastation and harm to anyone and I felt like I wanted to do something to help fund research into the disease.
“It feels weird having no hair! Everything is really cold and Ollie keeps gently blowing cold air at me to annoy me. It’s already started to grow back a little though, and now my hats and hoods are getting stuck to my head!”
