BRAVE Katie Leydon has said goodbye to her golden locks - and all in the name of charity.

More than 200 pupils from Nunnery Wood High School, Worcester, watched the 14-year-old having her hair chopped off recently.

Katie's mum Heather Leydon has a life-threatening latex allergy and her grandmother Dot Lee died of cancer, which is why the hundreds of pounds raised is being spilt between the Latex Allergy Support Group and Cancer Research UK.

The hairdresser was Flavia Ceci from the Flavia's, Wyld's Lane. Worcester.
