Inspirational PCSA teacher raises over £1000 in 7 days after shaving her head for charity!

Sharon Boneham of Priory Community School Academy ‘Braved the Shave’ for Cancer Research and Little Princess Trust and has already smashed her £400 target, and the money continues to come in.

Sharon, a Design and Technology teacher, discovered she has breast cancer at the start of lockdown prompted the charity feat. She spent lots of lockdown making scrubs for the NHS as part of The Priory Learning Trust’s work to help battle Covid-19.

This week she finished her shave in a bid to raise lots of money for the two brilliant charities.

Sharon said: “Like so many others I had my treatment delayed by months as they could only do a few CT scans a day and MRI scans due to extra cleaning needed, because of Covid-19. The operation I needed had a huge waiting list.

So here I am now! Two operations later, about to start Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. 

Before I start I want to make a positive out of a bad situation. I’m cutting my hair off and donating it to little Princess Trust who make wigs out of the hair for young people who have lost their hair and fund raising for Cancer Research UK. Please support me to turn this into something positive!”

Two years ago Sharon starred on the BBC Two programme Family Cooking Showdown along with her family, reaching the quarter finals.

She is also a cooking YouTuber for the children at school setting up “Cooking with Miss Boneham” so the students could keep cooking.
