Cutting my hair for cancer · 16 March 2019

The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions. The charity is also one of the largest funders of childhood cancer research in the UK.

Story

Update: I have chopped it off and sent it to The Little Princess Trust! Help me to reach my goal of £100 to send this wonderful charity.

In all honesty I love my hair. And cutting most of it off is scary. But my vanity is far less important than someone who’s lost their hair due to cancer or other illnesses, having a wig and feeling more themselves. So rather than getting a trim I am chopping off 12” and donating it to The Little Princess Trust. 

Using my hair, the hair others have donated, and the donations you give, they’ll be able to make a wig free of charge for the patient. Cancer affects far too many people and I want to do something to fight back. 

It costs £350 to make a wig, so these donations will just go a small way towards this, but every little helps! 

For every £1 donated I will donate 20p, so even if you can only donate £1 it will be extremely helpful.

Thank you so much!
