Eoghan McDermott is set to shave his head this weekend, in a bid to raise money for the Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The 2FM star will cut off his hair off during the Late Late Show on Friday night, as they bring vital awareness to the charity.

The aim of the fundraiser is to help gather as much money as possible, which will go towards creating free accommodation for families of those in hospital getting treatment for Cystic Fibrosis.

Speaking of the cause, Eoghan said, “I’m going to shave it for the Julian Benson Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Julian, sparkling Judge Jules from Dancing with the Stars, we all know him and love him, he’s a long time friend of mine.

“He’s got cystic fibrosis and has never let it define him. Now, he’s building a legacy and I want to help him do that.”

He continued,Β “The aim of his foundation is to provide free accommodation for families of CF patients who have to travel to Dublin from all over the country for long stays.

“When you’re getting treatment for CF you’re not in for days, it’s weeks at a time. Sometimes family will have to travel from all over Ireland and stay in hotels or rent Air B&B’s.

“It’s a huge expense so what Julian and the foundation want to do, is provide accommodation close to Vincent’s Hospital but to be used by all, for decades.”
