Volunteer shaving hair off for CAIS

 

A GRANDMOTHER will shave her head to raise funds for CAIS.

Mandy Evans says she will let her hairdresser give her a buzz cut for the cause which is close to her heart.

Mandy, of Manley Road, Smithfield in Wrexham plans to lop off her locks on Thursday, September 19 at CAIS’ King Street building in her home town.

Mum Mandy has a daughter Leah, 36, and two sons, Tom, 21 and Joe, 19.  The 59-year-old is also a grandma to Aiyana, seven, but is determined to go ahead with the clipper cut despite concerns from some of her children.

“The shortest hair I’ve ever had was in the 80s when I was a punk and had it all spiked up,” she said.

“I’ve been a mod and a rocker and I’ve had my hair really long as well,

but this will be the most extreme haircut I’ve ever had.

“It’s a really good charity, my youngest son Joe is really up for me doing this. But I think my daughter will think I’m crazy and my eldest son will be embarrassed.”

Mandy, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Wrexham, said she believed in CAIS’ work.

“I’m not that active as I’m disabled and I can’t do a parachute jump, although I’ve done it in the past,” said Mandy.

“So over the summer I’ve been thinking of what I can I do for CAIS as it’s a great charity.”
