SIX-YEAR-OLD local boy Alex Doody was diagnosed with lymphoma in September last year. He had an operation to remove the cancer, followed by intense chemotherapy at the University of Wales children's hospital in Cardiff.

Alex's dad Alistair, 39, decided to shave his head when Alex lost his own hair, and realised he could use it as an opportunity to raise cash for Latch, the Welsh children's cancer charity.
