Story

So the time has come for Sophie to cut her long beautiful hair, We have decided to donate it to the Little Princess charity to help other children.  When a child loses their hair to cancer or another condition, they are there with a free, real hair wig to help restore their confidence and identity. They also help to fund research into childhood cancers to help end it forever. Even after the hair donation it still costs them £550 to get the wig sized, made and ready for each individual child, so this is our target. We would love to be able to send this onto them as well as the hair so please help us to do so. I know this is a lot of money to raise so I don't really expect to reach the target but every penny helps so whatever we raise will be gratefully received.

Sophie has always been petrified of getting her hair cut (hense why it is so long lol) 4 yrs of trying & it has never been cut once,  but when I explained the process of donation & how she would be helping other children & make them happy, she was onboard straight away & the fear vanished. She can't wait to do it now. I am so proud of her.

Every donation will be greatly appreciated however small.

Thank u so much

Love Sophie
