Pain for gain at Bexhill College

Big-hearted Sean Collins braved the pain barrier to have his chest waxed in aid of the Stroke Association.

The Sports and Activities manager at Bexhill College was the star attraction as a big crowd of staff and students flocked to the College refectory to see Sean grimace in pain, as first his chest and then his armpits were waxed by those willing to pay for the privilege of ripping off the waxing strips.

Numerous students dug deep to pay for their turn to strip the previously hirsute Sean of his bodily locks. The whole ordeal lasted half an hour and raised over 200 for the charity.

A slightly red chested Sean said "It wasn't really much fun at the time and it was incredibly painful but it was well worth it to raise the money for such a good cause"
