A Hereford and Worcester NHS Care nurse has shaved her head to raise money for her friend and colleague who’s undergoing treatment for cancer.

Nurse Janet Garfield, braved the shave to raise money for her colleague Jinsy, whom she worked alongside prior to her diagnosis of stage 3 advanced bowel cancer last year.

Jinsy who works as a staff nurse and has dedicated 22 years of her life working as a nurse.

In a time of increased financial pressure, Janet felt she needed to do something to support Jinsy and her family while she undergoes intensive chemotherapy and further surgery. This led her to launch the fundraiser, which culminated in Janet shaving her head in front of a crowd of supportive onlookers on December 23.
