A painting and decorating student at Accrington and Rossendale College, Faye will have her long, multi coloured hair shaved off next month in memory of her two grandads, David Chester and Thomas Campbell, her grandma, Betty Campbell and her uncle, Brian Campbell.

The big chop takes place at Halo Styling in Padiham on Thursday, September 17th, which would have been her uncle Brian's 73rd birthday.

Although her hair, which is black, purple and green, is her pride and joy, Faye (18) is not phased by losing it as she is doing it to raise money for Pendleside Hospice.

Family and friends will be gathering to watch the big event and it will be something of a 'deja vu' for Faye's mum Diane Campbell as she sacrificed her locks back in 2008 and raised £500 for Cancer Research. She did it in memory of Thomas Campbell, who was her dad. He died in 2003.

Faye has set herself a target of raising £1,500 for the hospice and anyone who would like to make a donation can click HERE
