Hello, my name is Lexie and I am 9 years old (nearly 10) I have been growing my mermaid hair for 3 years, and have now decided now is the time to be brave and have the big chop, to donate to the Little Princess Charity to help make a wig for another brave young boy or girl. A wig costs between £350-£500,  would like to raise some money to go along side my hair donations.

My inspiration has come from my AMAZING friend Alfie, we went to nursery and primary school together, sadly my beautiful friend lost his short life to DIPG (an inoperable brain tumour) in 2014, he was very very brave and put up a big fight. He is always in my thoughts and I miss him everyday.

My 2nd inspiration comes from my AMAZING friend James, who I also went to school with (until this year) When James was 6, he was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma brainstem glioma, he had a craniotomy to debulk & biopsy, they thought the surgery would give him a few years before needing more treatment but unfortunately his scan in Nov 2014 showed it had grown back and he started 20 months of chemo in Jan 2015, his scan in April 2015 showed further growth and he then had a second emergency craniotomy & continued with his chemo. In July 2016 his scans had shown no growth for 12 months & he was able to stop his chemo, although he can't go into remission, his tumour has remained stable since July 2016 howeverthe remainder of the tumour is inoperable due to its position. He is a very brave and strong boy. 

I am planning on having the big chop on Friday 12th January @ 6.30pm. I will update with pictures once this has been done.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. And thank you for your donations how ever small or big it maybe.

Lots of love, Lexie xxx
