Ouch! But all in a ripping good cause . . .
KEEN Keech Hospice Care supporter Marco Cortese was “nervous but excited” on Friday before his eye-watering chest and stomach wax in aid of the charity.
Afterwards, sporting a smooth pink six-pack, he confessed: “It was a lot worse than I thought and I’m glad it’s all over.”
The wax at Shona Salon was the first in a series of charity challenges to be taken on by the 18-year-old motorsport engineering student in memory of his much-loved grandad Mario.
Now he’s fundraising for a skydive later this month and a 22 mile cycle marathon.
