HAIR-RAISING CHARITY EVENT AT MARLOWES SHOPPING CENTRE

On Saturday 30th April, local lady Carol Kitchener will be at Marlowes Shopping Centre in Hemel Hempstead, raising funds for The Iain Rennie Hospice, by shaving her hair off. 

Carol sadly lost her sister-in-law and close friend, Sharon Kitchener, to cancer in February last year, following a 13 month battle with the disease. The excellent support that Sharon received from the Iain Rennie Hospice during her final few months has motivated Carol into carrying out this charity fundraising event. The hospice, based in Tring, receives less than 10% from the government and heavily relies on the kind generosity of the local community to help make up the shortfall. The money that Carol raises will benefit both patients and their carers too.

Eileen Gannon, Marketing Manager at Marlowes Shopping Centre commented: "We are proud to support Carol in carrying out the event in aid of this local charity. We hope that shoppers will be generous in their donations, which will all go to this worthy cause."  

Carol will be carrying out the hair-shaving event at 1pm, on the mall within the shopping centre.
