WORKMATES Natalie Belcher and Tina Marsh had their lovely long locks shaved off to promote a good cause.

The brave Bradford pair have raised around £1,700 from sponsor money in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support which is where they work as fund-raisers based in Shipley.

They are now urging others to consider doing the same in aid of the charity's Brave the Shave event in August.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

Tina, 42, from Shipley, said going bald was a "bit of a shock to the system".

"I keep seeing someone in the mirror but I don't recognise myself. The hair will grow back and will be in beautiful condition when it does.

She added: "I sent my boyfriend a photo and he said he liked it. I think he was too scared to say anything else."

Natalie, 23, from Clayton Heights, said her head felt a "bit cold" and she has taken to wearing a hat to keep her ears warm.

The pair agreed to the stunt earlier this month when they started working for the charity.
