Nat’s courage inspires school friend’s head shave

A friend of Nat Armstrong, the gifted Thame swimmer struck down with a serious allergic illness, has decided to shave off  all her hair to raise much needed funds for Nat’s medical treatment.

Natalie Watson, of 18, Chinnor Road, Thame, is holding a barbecue at her house starting at 11.30am this morning, and anticipates that the shaving will take place after people have eaten, expected to be some time between 1.30 and 2.30pm.

Natalie hopes that as many people will go along as possible and donate what they can or take a raffle prize. All the funds will help Nat’s parents pay the £1,700 a week it costs to keep his special treatment going.
