Island residents 'Brave The Shave' for cancer charity 

Hundreds of pounds raised so far

Two Isle of Man residents have had their heads shaved in aid of charity.  

Pauline Hustings and friend Kirstie are raising money for - Macmillan Cancer Support - as part of its annual 'Brave The Shave' campaign. 

The group is the largest cancer care and support charity in the UK.

It's 27 years since Pauline found out she had a benign tumour.

Speaking to Manx Radio Pauline said she's doing the shave in honour of her father, Raymond Hustings, and a friend who both died of cancer. 

"Everybody tells me I'm really brave. And I'm like it's just my hair, it will grow back, I know too many people that it wasn't just the hair and it won't grow back... the only thing that did grow back was the tumour in some cases." - Pauline Hustings
