Hair is temporary, class is permanent…
Last week JOE brought you the fantastic news that Today FM, their incredibly dedicated staff and a Mansion House jam-packed full of selfless volunteers broke yet another Guinness World Record as part of the station’s ‘Shave Or Dye’ campaign.
The previous record, which was a total of 77 people having their heads shaved at the exact same time, was held by another charity cancer campaign in Australia but, last Friday, it was well and truly beaten as a whopping 179 noggins were successfully shaved by 179 barbers at Dublin City’s Mansion House.
Now you can check out the official Today FM video highlights from the day itself and it truly is inspirational stuff, a huge congratulations from JOE to all involved.
What do you mean are we crying? Of course we’re not, it’s just been raining on our face is all…
Have we done it? YES WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooo! #shaveordye
