Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

"Little Princesses was started by the parents of Hannah Tarplee, her school and friends after Hannah sadly died in June 2005. Hannah was diagnosed as having a Wilms tumour and despite a brave battle; she eventually succumbed to the disease.

After Hannah died, so many people were offering help, financially and practically that Hannah’s parents, Wendy & Simon decided that the most fitting way to use this help was to start a charity dedicated to providing specialists children’s wigs – like so many ‘Little Princesses’, Hannah loved her hair and losing it was very traumatic.

At that time, finding specialist, high quality wigs for children was very difficult and only after a long search was a suitable company found who eventually made a wig for Hannah – something she enjoyed wearing, especially for special events. This company is now one of Little Princesses many suppliers. Since its inception, the charity has now helped many children and continues to do so. " (www.littleprincesses.org.uk)

In addition to hair donations, Little Princess Trust also need monetary donations. It costs about £300 to make a wig and they supply wigs to the affected children, at no additional cost to the families.

I've been growing my hair since February 2008 and it has grown long enough (10" - 12") for me to able to donate.

I've done the hard part :-) and now require your help to make a difference.
