New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham
Nick takes centre stage to raise cash for
charity Shine
Determined dad Nick
Fagan took the ultimate plunge for charity this week, when he took to
the stage to shave his head for charity.
Nick, who is Deputy Technical Manager at the
New Alexandra Theatre shaved his hair off in support of charity Shine, for whom he has set the target of raising a staggering £5,000.
Nick’s son Ethan has a tectal plate glioma (an
inoperable brain tumor) and one of the symptoms of this is obstructive
hydrocephalus. As Shine have always been there for Nick and his family,
he wanted to do something in return.
Nick has now raised well over £1,000 of his target
with donations made on JustGiving and through a bucket collection on the
day. He plans to keep fundraising until he reaches the £5,000 mark.
A stylist from Jacks of London on Temple Street donated their time on the day to help the excellent cause.
Nick said: “ I decided to take the plunge and shave
my head as I just wanted to give something back to Shine. They have
been so supportive. I am overwhelmed by the support of friends and
family and of my colleagues here at the
New Alexandra Theatre.”
