Fiona who is a Director of an on-site and remote IT training and consultancy business will be having her locks shorn at the Fishermans Arms at the Headland, Hartlepool whilst her friend Diana will be facing the chop at her home in Chesterfield but supporters will be able to watch Diana's headshave simultaneously virtually on a laptop at the pub.
Fiona who also lives in Chesterfield said 'Both Diana and I have supported the wonderful work of the Hartlepool RNLI volunteers for many years now and I always look forward to meeting up with some of the crew who have become great friends of mine when I'm visiting my relations in the town'.

This is the first time Fiona and company administrator Diana have had their heads shaved for charity and Fiona said 'I'm really looking forward to having short hair but it's become a nerve wracking time before the event. Its a mix of excitement and fear. We both have sunglasses and hats to wear afterwards just in case'.
