1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute. I am one of those people. I had my first asthma attack at just 10 months old and had many asthma attacks and hospital visits and specialist appointments since with my breathing difficulties and I’m only 10 years old!

When I was 7 years old, I saw a little girl cut her long hair off for charity and she donated her hair to the little princess trust, and after I lost one of my family members to epilepsy, and having long hair at the time, I asked my mum if I could do the same! I raised just over £3000 for the epilepsy society in his memory and donated my hair to the little princess trust too.

And now - 3 years of hair growing later I'm ready to do it again!! This time I am again donating my hair to the little princess trust, but I’m also fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK. They’re the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs, including me!! and after suffering with chronic asthma everyday myself, I understand just how vital this charity is!

My haircut will be on my 11th birthday in July.

I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
