Chris Thomas has braved the shave for Prostate Cymru and the Little Princess Trust and raised an incredible £1,190.
Retired Policeman Chris decided not to cut his hair for the entirety of 2020 as a fun fundraising idea and has shaved his head at the start of 2021.
Speaking about his fundraiser, Chris said, “Normally for a fundraiser like this I would have loved to hold an event or function to commemorate the occasion. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t possible due to the present circumstances. Despite not being able to hold an event, I’ve been overwhelmed with the support and donations from everyone and I’m so glad that I’ve been able to raise money for Prostate Cymru.”
He said, “I have been involved with Prostate Cymru for a few years so I am aware of the good work that goes on. It was very pleasing to receive a couple of messages from family members of children who have benefited from the services of ‘The Little Princess Trust’. I hope my small donation of my hair to them will make someone smile.”

The charity sector has been hit hard by recent events and as a result we have lost a significant amount of fundraising this year due to lockdown restrictions and social distancing measures.
People like Chris taking on challenges are a massive help and we are so grateful for their fundraisers as they help us raise the funds needed to fulfil our core aims of raising awareness and supporting treatments and improving equipment for prostate diseases.
PLEASE ADHERE TO THE LATEST COVID-19 GUIDELINES WHEN FUNDRAISING. PROSTATE CYMRU DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY FUNDRAISING EVENTS THAT ARE NOT COMPLIANT WITH THE MOST RECENT RULES AROUND SOCIAL DISTANCING.
