When she told people she was going to shave her head for charity, Hatton midwife Helena White had several offers to pay her not to do it.
But the 35-year-old is determined to go through with her pledge to raise money for The Cotton Tree Children’s Trust, despite the misgivings of her own children.
The charity is run by Warwick woman Rosemary Bidwell, who has devoted her life to looking after orphans and street children in Sierra Leone.
Mrs White wanted to work in Africa before she got married and became a mother herself. Now she is anxious to help a local charity - and decided to do something extreme to help.
She said: “Sometimes we need to do things that are a little outrageous to achieve big results and make a difference in our world.”
The mother-of-three has already raised £300 and will be going under the clippers at the New Inn pub in Norton Lindsey on Sunday at 2pm.
