Kiedis will shave his head to raise money for the NHS.

Kiedis Toms says he will shave his head to raise money for the NHS in Leicestershire.

The St Botolph's Primary School pupil has been inspired by 99-year-old veteran Captain Tom Moore who is walking laps of his garden to raise vital funds during the coronavirus pandemic. 

On a post on facebook Kiedis' mother said that he had decided to shave his head to raise money for the NHS.

She said: "He would really like to tell his kids that in this crazy time he helped to make a difference." 

Initially the family set a target of £150.00 which has now been reached, but the goal is now to raise £1,000.

The family has set up a justgiving page where people are asked to send donations.
