Two brothers have faced school with shaven heads as part of their fundraising campaign to help raise money for KidsOut.
Daniel MacDiarmid, known as Shrimpy, age 15, has been raising money to buy Christmas presents for children’s charities since he was just 5 years old. With less time to spend this year on fund raising due to studying for his GCSEs, he persuaded younger brother, Oakley age 8, to join on his mission with both children facing their last days of the school term with bald heads.
The boys who live in Hailsham, East Sussex, go to school at Lewes Old Grammar School and Plumpton Primary School, had their heads shaved after school at a barber’s in Hailsham on December 11th.. “Anyone who knows us will know we like our hair,” said Daniel. “I never thought that I would be shaving my hair off and having to walk into school bald as well as freezing, but we both want to raise as much money as possible toys for these children. It was actually Oakley’s idea to do this challenge. It’s such an amazing cause and we just want to help put smiles on the children’s faces”.
The brothers will be buying toys for the children with the money they raise in time for Christmas. Any money raised after Christmas will go towards providing toys and fun days out for the children throughout the year.
