Story

I have been growing my hair for 2 years so that it can be cut & donated to the Princess Trust Charity to make a customised wig for a child with Cancer who has lost their hair due to their treatment. 16 inches is needed to make a lovely realistic looking wig. I also hope to raise money for Down Syndrome children like my gorgeous little sister. Not many people realise that many children with Down's have significant health problems & like my sister, spend many months in hospital having life saving treatment like open heart surgery & then have to battle lots of other complex medical problems throughout their lives. My sister is so brave & funny but like many such children she has to face daily challenges with her health, mobility, communication and these impact upon normal daily living. The Down's Syndrome Association provide great help & support & resources for People with Down's & their families. Please support me in supporting them. Give generously please!! Thank you.
