Oswestry local Sarah Lewis, 58, is taking on a bold fundraising challenge this Halloween to support a cause close to the hearts of many across Shropshire and Mid Wales.

Sarah, a freelance fitness instructor and owner of her own domestic cleaning business, will be shaving off her hair to raise vital funds for the Lingen Davies Cancer Support fund.

The idea came about organically while Sarah was growing her hair out. Wanting to make a positive impact, she realised her hair journey could serve a greater purpose.

“I’m not brave having my hair shaved, the brave ones are the people battling this cruel disease or those who are in remission! Let’s raise funds to help them fight!” says Sarah.

Lingen Davies Cancer Support relies heavily on community donations to continue its important work. Based in Shrewsbury, the charity provides essential support and facilities for cancer patients and their families throughout Shropshire and Mid Wales. For Sarah, choosing Lingen Davies was a natural decision after seeing the charity support people in her own network.

The fundraising event will take place on Saturday, 31st October at Heatwave Hair & Beauty in Oswestry.
