I am going to cut my hair short for the first time in a very long time and donate the hair to the Little Princess Trust so it can be used to make a wig for children with cancer. To allow the wig to be free to those children costs the charity £350 so I want to raise at least this amount for this charity.

I have recently gained experience working in an oncology/haematology unit and have seen the effects that loosing hair has on people who are already going through a really tough time. Whilst working here we dealt closely with MacMillan which is an amazing charity for information, support services and much more so I would love for anything above the cost of the wig (£350) to go to MacMillan.

I really love my long hair, I feel like it is my comfort blanket so this is a big decision to have it cut so much. I just feel I want to do something to help these charities raise money and help people.

1 in 3 people get cancer and most of us are affected by cancer at some stage whether it is us or a friend or loved one being diagnosed.

I would really appreciate any donations which are going to very worthy causes.
