Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many people will know that quite some time ago now I pledged to cut my hair for charity after my wedding and now the time has come! On 31st October 2015 I will be having the 'big chop' 💇🏼 at Kelly Cooper Hairdressing where it will be donated to the Little Princess Trust to be made into a wig for children and young people who have lost there hair through cancer treatments. 

Lots of people have asked me why I'm doing this and my reply quite simply is why not? Having long hair for as long as I can remember, I can't begin to imagine how it would feel to loose my hair. And so the 'big chop' is planned!

In the lead up to the 'big chop' I'm hoping to raise £1000 for Children with Cancer

Every week more than 70 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Children with Cancer invest millions of pounds each year into essential research, welfare and campaign projects to save young lives. Children with Cancer also work with the well known Clic Sargent, who provide amazing support and advice to children and their families.

So please please please donate as much as you can, share this page and show your support.

Thank you! 💇🏼
