Samantha Wade credits the Wessex Neurological Centre with saving the life of her sister, who recently suffered a blood clot on her brain, so to show her appreciation she is raising sponsorship for Smile4Wessex (and also for the Breast Cancer Campaign) by having her head shaved.

Rather sensibly, she is waiting until the end of March to lose her locks - presumably in the hope that the weather will be a little warmer by then - which gives plenty of time for people to sponsor her. If you'd like to lend your support then please vist Samantha's fundraising page HERE.
