Why would a man with a bounty of hair choose to shave his head? George was doing it in memory of his 21 year old nephew, Michael Spirou, who died of Leukaemia in October 2007.

Friends and family crammed into the hair salon to watch as George’s hair was strimmed and  trimmed down .
Harry, George’s son, took great delight in snipping away great chunks of dad’s hair to cheers from the assembled audience. PLUCKY George just watched as his signature shoulder-length locks were chopped in the name of charity.

A Leukaemia Society spokesman said “The Leukaemia Society (U.K.) is dedicated to ensuring that more people with Leukaemia survive, have the best possible quality of life and that their families and carers get the support they need. We can only achieve this with the support of companies and individuals like George. Therefore, we would like to congratulate George on his initiative and to thank him and everyone who supported his fundraising effort”.
