Anglesey woman, 67, has head shave for Palestine medical aid
Deborah Varney, 67, from Benllech, braved the shave at The Shed in Benllech at 2pm on Tuesday, June 24. So far, £1,600 has been raised, and people can still donate to her cause by visiting her GoFundMe page: This money is being donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians, which works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. It provides immediate medical aid to those in need in Palestine, while also developing capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system. Deborah said: 'The deed is done - I'm feeling happy to be a 'baldie of Benllech' again for such a good cause. 'The fundraiser is still open for more donations. 'I can't stand by while thousands die of injuries or starvation. This cause means so much to me. I've been so incensed by it all that I thought: 'The hair's got to come off!'' In 2022, Deborah raised roughly £2,000 by having her head shaved for British-Ukrainian Aid, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine earlier that year. She also took part in the March for Palestine to the Labour Party conference in Llandudno on Saturday (June 28).
