Pippa Case, husband Adam and son Archie, who live on their family farm in Harpley, between Fakenham and King’s Lynn, all became Easter egg-heads earlier this month in the name of charity.
The original plan was for Mrs Case and her 16-year-old son to have their heads shaved in order to raise £1,500 for NHS Charities Together.
This total was passed within two days, before Mr Case, a partner in Land Agency firm Cruso&Wilkin and chairman of Fakenham Racecourse, joined the challenge after their total topped £3,000.
All three had their heads shaved on Easter Sunday, with the event live-streamed on video conferencing app Zoom.

Mrs Case said: “I wanted to do something demonstrable in support of the NHS staff who are putting their lives on the line each and every day for us – the British public.
“The other bonus is the fact I managed to persuade Archie to do away with the dreaded mullet which I find very hard to look at while in such close proximity during lockdown.”

The family’s effort has now seen them raise more than four times their original target – their total now stands at more than £6,000.
Mrs Case said: “I’ve added our offline donations and we are thrilled to have reached the £6,000 mark.
“It’s a tad overshadowed by Captain Tom, but we are delighted all the same.”
Their JustGiving page is still accepting donations.
