EIGHT-year-old Ben Storer knew he wanted to do something funny for money this Red Nose Day as soon as he heard that his favourite pop star was shaving her hair off.
Ben, who attends Arnold View Primary School, in Arnold, is a big fan of Jessie J and was inspired by her decision to chop off her locks in aid of Comic Relief.
On March 10, despite the snow and freezing temperatures, Ben completed a 15-mile sponsored bike ride along the River Trent.
He said: "I saw on the Red Nose Day website that Jessie J was cutting her hair off and it made me want to raise money too.
"I decided to do a bike ride to raise money and so far my friends and family have donated more than £100.
"It was freezing cold doing the ride and it was snowing. When I finished I was a bit blue but I was really happy I had completed it."
Ben will be watching Comic Relief tonight on TV with mum Sarah and dad Andrew at their home in Arnold. To add to Ben's total you can donate at my.rednoseday.com/sponsor/benstorer.
