A Wincanton teenager who shaved off his curly ginger locks has raised £600 for charity.

"Personally, I think Zac was very brave to go ahead with the head shave, and he has raised more than £600.
"This is a phenomenal amount of money in such a short time.
"It takes £10 million each year to keep our Yeovil and Taunton sites going, so people like Zac make a huge difference to us, and help us to carry on providing our specialist end-of-life care for people across Somerset."
After a 16-month battle with cancer, Sue passed away in her sleep on September 26, 2011. She was 51 years old.
