Christopher Allen pledged to complete the charity challenge if his friends and family donated £250 for Comic Relief.
He will have his hair shaved off in front of his school friends at Springfield Juniors today.
His proud mum Johanna said: “He has always talked about doing things for charity and we had a think about ideas and this is what we came off with.
“He always says that when he makes it as a footballer he would give some of his wages to charity.
“I’m very proud of him for doing this. It shows great maturity and he has a very kind heart.”
