Hide AdSam’s dad Stephen, Andrew Bottomley, Barry Kitchingman and The Pyramids hair salon owner Whal Kerim each shaved their heads at the Flower Pot, Calder Road raising £700 for the fund.
Sam’s mum, Karen said: “The weather had been a hot few weeks they each agreed the experience was ‘cool and liberating’!
“It was also an event for the family in that Sam’s Uncle Andrew, opting for the long-haired look, had not had short hair for 37 years!”
Sam is due to have his operation next month, but family and friends have further events planned to raise extra funds to go towards Sam’s post-operation treatment.
