A FERRYHILL man performed a hair-raising stunt to raise money for a local hospital.
Henry Grimes agreed to have his head shaved to raise money for the special care baby unit at Bishop Auckland General Hospital.
He bravely had the chop while sitting in front of about 100 people in Ferryhill Station WMC.
Mr Grimes and his friends raised £325 in sponsorship, which the committee at the club agreed to match to bring the total to £650.
He said: "Everybody should have a chance in life and hopefully that's what this money will do to help those babies."
