BRAVE Rick Edwards took it all off in aid of charity last Thursday when he had his head and beard shaved.

Driver Rick who has not had a haircut since 1995, was persuaded by his workmates to go for the chop to raise money for Christie's Cancer Research.

Rick had his head shaved in the Cherry Tree Pub, Culcheth. The Cherry Tree also provided a disco to entertain customers after the 'mane event.'

Rick had previously raised £1,500 through sponsorship and managed to take the total up to £2,000 on the night.

The only request Rick has, is to be given one of the hats they wear in the Foreign Legion to keep his head and neck warm.
