Several men had their legs waxed to raise money. Two men had their moustaches shaved off. Zoey Adu had her head shaved and donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes real hair wigs for children.
Zoe, Charlie’s mum, said: “My close friends organised this fundraiser to raise money and awareness, bringing the community together, just bringing some positivity to this really crappy situation.”
