Lynn braves the shave for Macmillan

Lynn signed up to Brave the Share for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of Kay Tomlinson, who died last year.

She lost her shoulder-length locks at the Maltby branch of Tesco after husband Lloyd suggested she undergo the big trim in public.

“I wasn’t at all nervous on the day until my dad started off the shave,” said Lynn, of Maltby, whose brother-in-law and niece, Ian and Georgia Tomlinson also took their turns with the clippers, before letting hairdresser Lisa Oldham complete the job.

“My sister was really looked after by Macmillan so when I heard about the Brave the Shave campaign I thought I had to do it.”

Lynn — who has raised £1,500 for Macmillan — said she may grow her hair back but was actually quite enjoying having it short, adding: “It’s so easy to look after.”
