Donating My Hair to Charity! · 15 October 2017

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

Hello! My name is Caitlin Allsop, and I am 17 years old.

For the past few years, I have been growing out my hair, and I thought that I'd take this opportunity to donate it so that it can made into a wig by the Little Princess Trust, who can then gift it to a child suffering from cancer or another serious condition such as alopecia. 

As of 15/10/17, my hair measures at about 38 inches long! I am hoping to donate between 15-20 inches so that I can maximise the amount that goes towards making a wig :)

As well as donating my hair, I am using this fundraiser so that those wishing to sponsor me can donate their money to the charity as well. It can cost between £300 and £550 for the charity to purchase a wig for a child if no hair donations are available, so please be as generous as you can with your donations. But every little helps of course!

I have fixed the donation date for the 11th of November with Eden Hair and Beauty (Haslemere) and will be sending my hair to the Little Princess Trust through them. I will also make sure to upload photos once the cut has been done! Until then, feel free to donate through this page as the money will go straight to the charity.
