The head shave #ThankyouNHS

Updated 7 April

My name is Ben Tozer and I am the captain of Cheltenham Town.

We started this fundraiser to raise money for frontline NHS staff in Gloucestershire and so far, we've raised almost £4,500 for those heroes. We're overwhelmed with the response.

Now we're challenging our neighbours over at Gloucester Rugby to get involved. Happily they've agreed, and I nominate Jason Woodward to brave the shave first. 

Let's get Gloucestershire united, and come together to support our wonderful hospital staff during this crisis. They're the true stars here. #ThankyouNHS

Myself and the lads want to do something to support the amazing NHS staff during this crisis.

So I've set a bit of a challenge for the players to raise some vital funds, but I need your help.

We're going to shave our heads. Once we've raised £500 I'll do mine, share the video and nominate another lad in the squad. After we've raised another £500 they'll do the same, and so on and so on.

I know three or four of the boys are ready and willing. But let's see how many more of the squad we can convince to lose their barnet for a great cause, and raise a load of money for the NHS heroes while we're at it.

Let's do this. Please share our page using #ThankyouNHS

Look after yourselves, and we'll see you soon.

Ben
