A schoolboy from Watchet and four of his classmates have dyed their hair pink to raise money for cancer research. Owen Porter felt inspired to raise funds as his Mum Jennie Porter was diagnosed with breast cancer in March and is undergoing chemotherapy. He managed to persuade four of his year 11 friends to go along with the fundraising idea. This is just one of three charity events Owen has organised including a football match and a non-school uniform day at the West Somerset Community College. Owen has raised £654 to date for Cancer Research. Special thanks go to Georgia Leader and Zoe Brick for their hairdressing skills. Owen’s gran (Jennie’s Mum) also coloured her hair and has raised a staggering £1,200 so far.
