Chelsea said: “Grandad was due to shave my head on May 21, but just three days before, he got rushed into hospital with pneumonia.
"However, he made us promise to go ahead and do the fundraiser for him and all the other families who have gone through this heartache.
"On this night grandad was due to shave my head – as well as me shaving his beard too – my older brother Cameron took a seat after finishing my hair cut and got his hair shaved too.

Chelsea said: “We took one of grandad’s famous jumpers to the night so it still felt as if he was there with us.
"As a family we would like to thank each and every person who helped support grandad through his journey and helped raise the outstanding amount for this charity.
"I wish to keep my head shaved in the meantime, as he loved it, in memory of our amazing grandad.”
