The multi award winning, multi million euro making, multi record breaking Shave or Dye will today try to set its 5th world record in a row.

The fundraiser for the Irish Cancer Society is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for 'The Most Heads Shaved Simultaneously' live on the Ray D'Arcy show this morning.

The current  record of 77 was set  in Australia on 4 May 2013

Over 180 barbers and 180 listeners who have donated their heads for shaving are on standby at the Mansion House in Dublin.

So Far Shave or Dye has raised more than 6 million euro in aid of cancer research.

Ireland’s cancer rate is one of the highest in the world.  1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime and it is estimated that by 2020, 42,000 new cases will be diagnosed.  Latest data from the National Cancer Registry shows that 33,741 people were diagnosed with cancer in Ireland in 2010.  These stark figures mean that there is an ever increasing demand for the direct patient care services provided by the Irish Cancer Society.
