Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be donating over 12 inches of my locks to Little Princess Trust who give away free real hair wigs to both boys and girls that have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other illnesses. They have given away 5,000 real hair wigs to sick children, 1,000 of those in the past year alone which is astonishing.

I can't imagine how difficult it is for a child to lose their hair, experiencing that transition, and what that must do to their confidence. This is a simple act for me, which could provide some comfort for those going through this process.

Funds raised will go to my chosen charity Newlife. There are now around one million disabled and terminally ill children in the UK. Thousands of them rely on Newlife to get the equipment they need, equipment such as wheelchairs, specialist buggies and beds that has often been refused by the statutory services or the delays in provision mean that the child will suffer unnecessarily. Newlife runs the only fast track equipment services in the UK, helping those children in urgent need.

Thanks again for reading my story. I aim to raise £500 for this worthy cause.
