Story

Hello!

Before being diagnosed with coeliac disease aged two, Woody only had 'duckling' fluff for hair. This is because his stomach wasn't absorbing enough nutrients from his food. But then, after he went on a gluten free diet, within days his hair started thickening - at last our little boy had hair!

We haven't been able to cut it since and it's become the beautiful golden mane it is today, aged eight.

But, we want his hair to make someone else happy and on Friday 28th September it will all be chopped off and donated to the Little Princess Trust which makes wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer treatment.

We would also like to raise as much as possible for Children's Hospice South West.

Thank you for reading and for your support.

Fran, Woody's mum
