School boy shaves off hair for Zena 10 charity and hospice

Bury St Edmunds school boy, Harry Price, had his blonde locks shaved off during a school assembly and raised £600 for the Zena 10 charity and St Nicholas Hospice Care.

In June 2015, the family of Zena Butcher, came together to launch the Zena 10 fundraising campaign in her memory. Zena aged 37, died in 2005 from a malignant brain tumour.

Pupils and teachers from Westley Middle School, family and friends all looked on as Zena’s daughter, Connie Gibbs, shaved off 11-year-old Harry’s blonde locks.

Connie said: “It’s really good of Harry to let me do this, my mum would have been proud of him. I think he has raised a fantastic amount of money in a short time.”

To date, the Zena 10 campaign has raised £56,725 for the hospice that supported Zena during her six year battle with brain tumour.

Some of the money raised has gone to the hospice’s children and young people’s bereavement programme, Nicky’s Way, which Connie has since received help from.
