OUCH: Scott Pritchard gets his chest waxed with supporters, from left, Viv Rogers, Elaine Hare and Bex Kearley
A CHEST wax is one of the ways a Dorchester optician is helping children with eye cancer.
Vision Express on High East Street is hosting a variety of fundraising activities in the store this month.
Store manager Scott Pritchard decided to face the wax strips to help Childhood Eye Cancer Trust and encourage parents to get their children’s eyes tested.
Medusa Apothecary waxed his chest in front of amused customers and staff members.
It comes as part of a national initiative by Vision Express to raise money for the trust, which supports children and families affected by eye cancer.
