Story

This summer, (July) I will be cutting around 8 inches of my hair off to be donated to the Little Princess Trust. It would also mean so much to me if I could raise some money for The Alexandra Sales Trust. Alex was in my year at school and she was such a lovely girl, so kind, caring, funny and intelligent, she was taken from us way to soon and I think about it quite a lot. If an act as simple as cutting my hair, can help others who are currently going through such an awful time, as well as keeping Alex's memory alive then it will be worth every second I have spent growing my hair.

It has taken me just over 18 months and it has been a journey to get to this point. Throughout this time I have thought about how it is always the people in the most awful situations that have the biggest smiles on their faces and I can only hope that by donating my hair and , hopefully, some money that I can lift someone' s spirts. 

To everyone that donates, Thank you so much in advance, you will never know how much I appreciate it! :) xx

About the charity

The Trust has been set up to create a legacy in the memory Alexandra, who, on the 2nd April 2013 was diagnosed with Mastitis Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare, rapidly spreading soft tissue cancer. She passed away on the 16th September 2014 aged just 17. The ethos of our Trust is to support children and young people aged 1 to 24 who have been diagnosed with Cancer. The support given to Alexandra during her illness by the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey was without fault. We the Trust and her many friends are committed to raising as much money as possible to help other children in similar circumstances. Alexandra was able to benefit from a number of small charities. A personal shopper day at Top Shop. She was so excited when she came home explaining her day. She was able to have a real hair wig to feel 'normal' for her school prom and was so proud of the MAC laptop she was given. Alexandra requested it because she had every intention, when she recovered, of studying photography as an A level. These donations made her happy and gave her something positive to focus on, a distraction which helped her cope mentally with the enduring treatment. This is the aim of our Trust, to raise ‘Smile Money’. We want to give something to young people being treated for cancer . Maybe it will be another Mac Laptop or a weekend away for the family. We want to gift a memory.
