“It didn’t bother getting my hair shaved off but it did bother my hairdresser, Joanne Corry. She has been doing my hair for 25 years and was really upset to see it all come off!”

Mary, who is the current president of Thornton Cleveleys Rotary Club, explained she was born with cerebral palsy and was unable to raise funds by swimming or climbing mounts.

She added: “I wanted to help Mcmillan and this seemed a brilliant way to do it.”
