A teenager from St Budeaux has raised over £1000 for Trevi by having her head shaved.
Fifteen-year-old Cortney Parmenter, who lives in Kings Tamerton, was visiting Tamar View Community Centre when she overheard local councillor Pat Patel talking about raising funds for Trevi.
Pat said:
“I visited Trevi’s Sunflower Centre recently and was amazed and impressed with the excellent work they do. I happened to be talking about their ‘Raise ’n’ Shave’ fund raising and Cortney said ‘I will do it.’
“I said ‘are you sure’ and Cortney said she really wanted to help Trevi because of its invaluable work. And her mum agreed with her. I want to do all I can to help Cortney raise the much needed funds for Trevi.”
Cortney had her head shaved on Sunday August 22 by Dean from Ideal Barbers at The Tamar Galley in Tamar View Community Centre, raising a total of £1081.
The tresses that were cut off have been donated to the Little Princess charity, which provides wigs made of real hair for young cancer patients who have lost their hair during treatment.
