Hair-raising €2m pledged for cancer

Today FM’s Shave or Dye annual charity drive has raised a phenomenal €2m for the Irish Cancer Society this year.

DJ Ray D’Arcy puts its success down to the fact that the charity has such a broad appeal.

“Unfortunately, most people’s lives have been touched tragically by cancer and hair shaving is very symbolic of what people with cancer go through during treatment — they lose their hair,” he said.
