Fancy that!: Barry charity shop manager needs costumes for fundraising month
4:50pm Friday 28th September 2012 in News
WHAT TO WEAR? Natalie Bolan hopes to swap Sumo for Peppa while volunteer Catherine Williams cheers her on.
A BARRY charity shop manager set to 'fancy dress' her way through October is appealing for a Peppa Pig to help in her mission!
Holton Road-based Tenovus manager Natalie Bolan has answered a challenge to wear a different fancy dress outfit to work for the whole of October, but needs a range of outfits to complete the task.
And top of the 28-year-old's wish list is children's favourite - and pink as a bonus - Peppa Pig, accompanied by some pirate-themed accessories.
Natalie said: "The idea came from a customer, head office found out, customers said they would sponsor me - and it went from there!
"The challenge is to wear a different outfit on each of the 23 days.
"All the other store managers think I have lost a bet!"
Funds raised will help breast cancer patients.
Anyone who can lend or donate a fancy dress costume - including a Peppa Pig who would make a Saturday appearance outside the shop to wow young fans - can call in from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 5.30pm.
Donations can be made via www.justgiving.com/Natalie-Tenovus or by texting NATB99 and the amount you wish to donate to 70070.
Follow Natalie's progress on Facebook group Fancydress4tenovus or visit www.tenovus.org.uk
