Montrose woman shaves head for surgical unit

Jean Grant took a brave step and shaved her head to raise money for the surgical unit at Stracathro Hospital

Jean, who attends the unit monthly for treatment, asked friends and family to sponsor her to shave her head so she could raise money to buy a new comfortable reclining chair for the unit.

Jean said, “I want to do something different to raise money for the ward so I decided to shave my head! Everyone was so generous and I raised an amazing £1,050.”

Accepting the donation, senior charge nurse Fiona Kidd said, “I would like to thank Jean for this generous donation and for her bravery in having her head shaved. The purchase of a new recliner chair will improve comfort for patients during treatment.”
