Whitley Bay mum finished the Great North Run - then shaved off her hair for charity

A Whitley Bay mum celebrated finishing the Great North Run in style - by shaving off her hair for the charity Children's Cancer North.

Lesley Lincoln crossed the finish line in South Shields and made a beeline to the charity village to find Children's Cancer North's events manager Abigail Hewison, who was menacingly holding an electric razor.

In no time at all, mum-of-two Lesley was shorn. She took on the double challenge hoping to raise £1,000 - and she has absolutely smashed her target thanks to her hair-raising escapade. In total, she's raised £1,327 so far.
