A SALESMAN fought through the pain barrier by having a full body wax for charity.
Twenty-four-year-old Matt Santa of Mount Pleasant Road, Dartford, raised £1070 for Macmillan Cancer Support by having the free wax at Gems Health and Beauty Salon in Pickford Lane, Bexleyheath.
A beauty therapist's bed was wheeled into the reception area so that colleagues, customers and passers-by could watch the spectacle.
Speaking after the ordeal, Mr Santa said: "Originally I was just going to have my legs, chest and armpits done. But after reaching £1,000 in sponsorship I agreed to the full monty - bikini line and everything."
"The most painful bit was the bottom part of my back and across the middle of my chest."
He added: "Everyone was so supportive. One customer at work handed me a £100 cheque."
