THE DATE IS SET - The hair goes blonde on the Cathkin High School stage, lunchtime, Wednesday 18th September.

*UPDATE* In less than 24 hours, we smashed through our initial target of £200. I cheekily upped the target to £500 and we have now comfortable strolled past it in under a week. Absolutely unbelievable. Thank you for all the support. Please keep sharing the link. Im upping the target one more time. I dont expect us to hit it, but every little donation makes a huge difference.

A while back, I made a crazy deal with Zara that if she got an 'A' in her National 5 Drama exam I would let her dye my hair blonde. She held on to this for the best part of two years and - of course - smashed her Drama exam.

Shortly after the exam, Zara's Granda, Gerry McLeary, very sadly and suddenly passed away. Zara and I thought it would be a good idea to combine my "hair dye forfeit" with raising some money for a good cause in her Granda's memory.
