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

On 13th April 2023 I am turning 32, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than to help someone in need? So, I am launching a fundraising campaign for the Little Princess Trust, a wonderful charity which provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young adults who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions such as Alopecia.

I will also be cutting and donating 32cm of my own hair which will go towards creating a wig for one of those amazing people fighting for their lives! My Big Cut is planned for 13th May 2023, and by then, I am hoping to raise £2200! Even better news is that my company, Roscommon Analytics, have generously agreed to match any donations made, up to a total of $5000!!!

Why this charity?

Having previously experienced hair loss myself, I can understand first-hand how self-conscious it can make one feel. So, if I can boost the confidence of even one person and put a smile on their face, I will have achieved the goal I have set myself at the start of this journey.

I hereby invite you to kindly support me by making a monetary donation or spreading the word about my campaign via social media, word of mouth or reaching out to your contacts in other ways. Your action is the greatest birthday gift I can ask for!

On behalf of all whom this campaign will help, thank you from the top of our heads to the bottom of our hearts!
