All 5 of the boys have had family members suffer with various types of cancer and wanted to show their support by growing their hair for 6 months, before shaving it all off on June 1st. Well the hair has now gone, and the money has rolled in! Their initial target was £500, but they are currently sitting on just over £1700!
