A Close Shave!

Henry Danson decided to raise money for hospital related charities by shaving his head!  Here he (before shaving) with a fantastic £350 raised.  Derby Hospitals Choir was honoured to be one of the three selected charities.  The picture shows Henry (centre) and our Chairman Louise on his right as one of the recipients.
