Brave Molly Montgomery shaved her head to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research in Sainsbury’s at Torpoint today raising over £1,000 for the charity.
Molly, who is 15, lost her teacher, Mr Feast, to cancer recently. Sarah, a friend of Molly’s mother’s and Sheryll’s god-daughter has also been diagnosed with a brain tumour. Fortunately she was able to attend the head shaving albeit in a wheelchair.
Molly explained on her fundraising page, “I’m shaving all my hair off for cancer research as cancer is something I feel deep about and I know people who have suffered and lost their battle to cancer.”
Following the event Sheryll said, “Molly is such a brave girl and she has done fantastically well raising so much money for cancer research. I would really like to thank her for her efforts and for all the local people who have given so generously. I would also like to thank Sainsbury’s for giving the use of their store to such a worthy cause.”
