Nigel and Ashley Ball got out the clippers to raise money for Axminster and Lyme Cancer support and Macmillan.
They also ran a vegetable stall outside their home and so far they have raised £1,500 with pledges of more to come.
Ashley said: “My mum, Karen, is currently going through treatment for breast cancer and both charities have been a great help to our family. “We are overwhelmed by the support we have received for such good causes.
“If anyone wishes to support us please contact us on 07855079194 or nigelball3@btinternet.com “
