RAZOR SMILE: Helen's locks are shaved off
A York woman had a very close shave when she raised more than £270 for our Hospice 2000 Appeal.
Helen Ashby, who is the registrar at the National Railway Museum, had her head shaved in June at Poppleton Road School watched by teachers and children.
A member of the school's PTA for the past four years, Helen said she wanted to help the school and the St Leonard's Hospice Millennium Appeal. She collected a total of £554 in sponsorship from colleagues and friends.
She said her hair grew back quickly, but was still very short.
