Aberfeldy friends shave heads and raise more than £10,000 for charity

Pals Cat Harrison (46) and Kerry Davies (42) took on the daring challenge last month - with two bidders each offering £1000 to be the one to wield the clippers!

“So CHSS means such a lot to me, much more than my hair does!”
Kerry said: “It was an amazing experience. Everyone was so supportive and up for it. And yes, there were a lot of cheers as the hair started to fall!
“My hair was just below my shoulders before the
