MANOR Court in Usk was packed out on Wednesday (17th August) afternoon as members of the community gathered to raise money and shave heads for motor neurone disease.

Four people put themselves at the mercy of the razor for Elizabeth Ferber, a former Usk resident who suffers form motor neurone disease and is raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Stefan Williams, Kay Peacock and Rolie Dales started off proceedings before Mrs Ferber’s father David Hughes finished off the event by getting his head shaved as well.

Donations coming before the event, combined with donations on the day and the proceeds of a raffle all combined to raise the donations to the cause to £4,500.

Mrs Ferber has been involved in raising money since her diagnosis in 2014, this has included efforts such as a cycle ride at Brighton velodrome, a walk in Usk and the ice bucket challenge.
