Story

Hi Everyone

In 2016 when the European football championship was on, my eldest child made a slightly odd request.

He said, "dad can you grow your hair like Gareth Bale?"

So I said yes and thought it wouldn't take too long.  One year later and my son had totally forgot about his request, but I was eventually able to put my hair into a Top Knot. 

Instantly, I realised I wasn't going to be able to pull that look off, so I was in a dilemma.

It was then I decided I would donate my hair to Princess Wigs after previously attending a head shaving event which raise over £2000, but also, like many other people, I have had people close to me who have had cancer.

Another year on and my hair is now long enough so it can be used to make a wig. So on Monday 11th June 2018, I will be going to Barber Jon's in Llantrisant, and having my head completely shaved, with the hope that I will raise some funds for The Little Princess Trust and Cancer Research Wales.

Anything you can give is much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support.
