Story

Hi my name is Jess, and a few weeks ago I made the decision to shave my head to raise money for 'Teenage Cancer Trust!'

I want to do this because I feel that I am very lucky to be able to make the decision to have hair, but people who have had to undergo Chemotherapy treatment don't have this choice, so I am going to stand with them to show that they are not alone, and that beauty is from within.

When my hair is cut at my school in front of many of my peers on Friday13th December, it will be donated to 'The Little Princess Trust' to make a wig for a young child that has lost their hair.

A massive thankyou to everyone for donating! You have all helped me to make a difference!

The encouraging comments that I have recieved since my fundraising began, reassures me that this is an amazing thing that I am doing... and I will not be changing my mind! :)
