Washing my hair for the last time... :(

It’s finally time to say goodbye. Yes, that’s right folks- I am shaving my head for charity!
The charity I have chosen is East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) as they provide amazing support to terminally ill children and their families locally.
I also plan to donate my hair to The Little Princess Trust, who give children who have lost their hair through disease a wig to replace their own hair. Wigs can cost between £100 to £2,000 pounds, so providing one for free helps the children and their families a great deal.

An easy way to donate is to text BALD77 £1 (or £2, £3, £4, £5, or £10) to 70070.
The text is free, and 100% of the money goes to EACH. It just takes the money you choose to donate out of your credit.
My hair is my trademark. People at school (I’m 14) call me Rapunzel, and without my long blonde locks I will feel naked! And probably a bit chilly... BRING ON THE HAT BUYING SPREE! (If you have a silly/strange/normal hat or wig you want me to wear, give it to me and for an extra donation I will wear it out and about)
Losing my hair will be sad, scary but exciting! If you want to come along and see this madness for yourself, it will be happening one Staurday 6th October, at noon, outside Debenhams.
You can donate either on here, by text or by approaching me in person and writing your name on my sponsorship form. Any amount is appreciated, even if it’s only a pound or two... Every little bit takes me closer to my goal!
Please help me be brave by donating! A thousand and the hair is coming off! *scared face*
Oh and remember... my text code thingy is: BALD77 £1 (or £2, £3, £4, £5, or £10) to 70070
And just to let you know...
