A Workington teenager has braved the shave in memory of his late grandmother.

Jay Roach, 14, from Seaton, shaved his head to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, on the tenth anniversary of her death.

Pat Kelly died from pancreatic cancer in 2007 at the age of 60.

She worked at Smiths Bros (Whitehaven) Ltd until her retirement, and enjoyed socialising at the Trades Hall in Workington.

Her grandson has raised £350 for the cancer charity that supported her throughout her illness.

Macmillan Cancer Support provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. Last year the charity supported over 1.4 million people.

Jay's mother, Sharon Roach said: "Jay organised it all himself; the first I knew about it was when the fundraising pack came through the post.

"Jay was only four when his Nana died but he remembers whenever he went somewhere with her, she would always buy him a present.

"She was a kind and caring person."

His mother said he had received donations from the Trades Hall, his parents' colleagues at Iggesund and Seaton Academy and parents from Workington Reds and Seaton U14s rugby team, where Jay plays, as well as from family and friends.

Jay also plans to donate his hair to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs for children who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.
