Peta is the treasurer of Louth Beech Grove Community Hall, and many members of the community are supporting her through donations of money and catering 
at the event - and people have also donated a number of comical wigs for Peta to try out on the day of the event.

She will be making a day of it on May 22, with the ‘big chop’ in the morning, and a game of bingo, a raffle, and food in the afternoon.

Peta said: “I’ve been treated for Raynards at the hospital for 12 years now, so it’s about time I gave something back.

“Shaving my hair off is a challenge so I hope that people will support me.”

Peta has already raised more than £250, including donations from the Post Office and Waterloo Housing, and aims to reach to 
£1,000 before the event.

Louth post woman Marie Burgess said: “Peta is a wonderful lady who is always 
doing things for charity, and I think it’s amazing what she is doing for the hospital.”
