Last August Jess Adkins was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The Cwmbran High School pupil returned to class earlier this year and is still undergoing treatment.

His classmate Owain Harvey-Hillier wanted to show support for Jess so decided to have his hair shaved off. The two 13-year-olds got a huge group of their year eight pals together to watch Mr Hine, their head of year, be the barber.

The event was also held to raise money for LATCH, the Welsh children’s cancer charity. Scroll down for the link to donate to Owain’s appear.

The fun started with some of Owain’s friends cutting some chunks off before Mr Hine finished it off with a shaver.
