Brave Courtney, 10, undergoes head shave for Cancer Research UK
A proud father says he is "overwhelmed" by his daughter's bravery in undergoing a head shave for charity.
Ten-year-old Courtney Jane Chapman, from Chasetown, in Burntwood, Staffordshire, has so far raised more than £2,000 for Cancer Research UK.
The Chase Terrace Primary School student braved the clippers on Saturday at The Firs Working Men's Club, in Burntwood. The head shave was done by a family friend who is a barber.
More than a dozen businesses provided items to be raffled off in aid of Courtney's fundraiser, with her father Mark, age 48, thanking them all.
Asked how he felt about his daughter braving the shave, Mark said: "I'm overwhelmed.
"She wanted to raise money for Cancer Research. We have had members of our family diagnosed with cancer and are currently recovering cancer patients.
"The head shave was all her idea."
He added: "We had a really good turnout. The head shave was done by a friend of ours, she is a barber. I would like to thank everybody who donated, my friends and family and my wife Kelly Chapman."
Courtney has smashed her original fundraising target of £500. The grand total is now more than £2,000 and the cash is still being counted.
Among the businesses that donated items auction was Wolves Football Club who provided a football signed by the first team.
Hardware store G E Collis & Sons Ltd, which is based in Chasetown, donated a new shed to be auctioned off.
Other businesses donated vouchers in aid of the fundraising campaign.
These were: Studio 42 tattoo studio, Boyds hair and beauty salon, Chase Butchers, Chase Balti, Spice Lounge [Burntwood], One-Stop, Chasetown Civil Engineering, Sanders Cycles, Bev's Hair & Beauty, Queens Fish Bar, Sankeys Fish Bar, Flower Design of Lichfield, The Bakery Chasetown, Flowers by Claudine and Scruffs to Fluffs Dog Grooming Burntwood.
Mr Chapman added: "There is too many people to list."
