Hello! My name is Samantha!

So I have very curly hair which gets everywhere... Literally!! I am constantly moving it out my face and apologising for it blowing in other peoples faces! So it's time for it to go!!

For a while now I have wanted to cut my fairly long hair for two reasons...

1. So it's ready for summer to keep nice and cool 

And 

2. I have been growing my hair for so long and my goal was to have it about half way down my back, which I have now achieved 

so it's time to cut it off!!

I heard about the little princess trust through someone who does youtube videos and is doing the same thing. They are a charity that take hair and use it to make wigs for children who have had cancer and chemotherapy and as a result have lost their hair. So for me,in thought if I am having lots of hair cut off... Why not give it to people who need it way more than me! 

But not only did I want to give my hair to the Little Princess Tust, but I also want to get sponsored to do it. I have decided to choose a charity that I know something about and is a little more close to home. 

The macmillan cancer support charity...

They are are charity caring for patients and their families who have been diagnosed with cancer. They offer a range of different support from nurses visiting people in their home, to helplines to giving advice to people on how to manage finances whilst Ill, but also helping with telling loved ones that someone has cancer. 

I have known about Macmillan for a long time. My grandad died from cancer when I was around 13 and he and the family were cared for by macmillan nurses and staff. My mom has organised Macmillan coffee mornings with her work for many years and I have always known her doing them. 

There are links at the bottom to both the little princess trust and Macmillan so please have a look at their work 

I am planning to do this just before the Easter holidays (aiming for the week of 7th April) and my aim at the moment is to raise around £200. I would be so so grateful to anyone who can give any amount, and I know if will go a long way to continue the amazing work and support Macmillan offer. 

I will be writing a blog about my progress throughout and am panning to film it being cut off for everyone to see. 

My closest friend also has a blog, which she will be writing on about this so please follow the links to her too!

If you want to sponsor me, there will soon be a quick and easy button that will take you straight there in the next few weeks. But for now please follow the link to the just giving page and follow the instructions 

Thank you everyone for supporting me!! 

Samantha
