A 15-YEAR-OLD from Alderbury is sporting a new look this weekend after getting his head shaved to raise money for charity.

Sam Stephenson wanted to do something to support his cousin who is the same age as him and was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Yesterday he did a 10k run at Moors Valley and today he lost his trademark locks outside Upside Down Barbers in the Maltings - in front of friends, family and passing members of the public.

Sam, a student at Bishop Wordsworth's School, hopes to raise more than £1,000 for Cancer Research.
