Sir,

May I through your newspaper express my thanks to everybody who contributed to my daughter, Tracy Hartland's, sponsored head shave for Leukaemia Research?

More than £1,500 has been raised so far; we hope to have the final total in a few weeks.

Thanks to Andrew Price for the hairdressing skills! Also Jason Lloyd for providing the Hean for the occasion.

Many thanks to everyone who collected and for all your good wishes to Tracy for her forthcoming bone marrow transplant.

Rose Bowen,
