TWO teenage pals will be going under the razor to raise money for young cancer sufferers.

Olivia Wright, 17, of Gelli Road, Llanelli, and pal Katie Everton-Howells, 18, from Ammanford, will be shaving their heads to raise money for children's cancer charity Clic Sargent.

And the pair — who both study animal management at Coleg Sir Gar's Pibwrlwyd campus — have kicked off their fundraising campaign already, appealing for sponsorship ahead of the shave in August.

Olivia said: "People in our families have had cancer so we're both quite passionate about helping this kind of charity.

"For a child it's an even worse experience so we thought we would do it for them."

She said the two were hoping to raise around £400 over the next few months.

"We wanted to have enough time to raise a good amount of money for the charity," she said.

"Katie is going to have a buzz cut but I'm going to be completely bald. £400 is enough for a family to have a week away for respite, so that's our target."
