A BEARDY biker has taken the plunge in memory of seven-year-old Izzy Sewell and shaved off his impressive whiskers.

Keen biker Ahad Ghanbary was part of the funeral procession for Izzy, from Kingston Bagpuize, when she passed away in May after battling cancer.

During her last months the youngster made good friends with the Wolfpack Motorcycle Club as keen motorcycle enthusiast herself.

In her honour Mr Ghanbary shaved off his beard last month to raise money for Cancer Research UK in her memory.

He said: "I was touched by her bravery and her family’s grace, I felt I had to do something in Izzy’s memory.

"She died of cancer and I feel more needs to be done in terms of research and development."

So far the fundraiser has pulled in more than £1,200 and is still taking sponsors at justgiving.com/ahadx
