Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving Page. 

I'm finally doing it, I'm donating roughly 9" of my hair to the wonderful Little Princess Trust. Ever since I was little I've always had long, thick blonde hair, something that's just became me. I guess you could say it's something of a security blanket too - but it's going! 

During 2015, my wonderful niece became poorly and whilst receiving treatment, had her hair cut off to keep risk of infection at bay. Sadly, our beautiful girl passed away. However, had she survived, she would have had the option of wearing a wig in order to feel more comfortable - to feel more like herself. 

From this moment on, I've considered cutting my hair and now the time has came, to make another little girl feel special and more like herself whilst being treated. 

The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young people up to the age of 24 that have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. It costs the charity £550 to provide a real hair wig free of charge. With this in mind, I would love to raise the cost of providing the wig, alongside my hair. 

So, my ask; Please may I ask that you help me, help them raise money so that this wonderful cause can help more families. The trust receives no formal funding. 

Thank you for reading my story.
