Story

When a child loses their hair to cancer or another condition, we'll be there with a free, real hair wig to help restore their confidence and identity. We won't stop until the research that we fund ends childhood cancer forever. Promise.Please visit us at www.littleprincesses.org.uk to find out how you can help us give young people back what cancer takes away.The Trust relies solely on the efforts of enthusiastic community fundraisers. We receive no formal funding. Please help to raise money for us so that we can help more families.

At the age of 15 I fell ill to peritonitis. During my recovery my body fell into shock and one of the first things I experienced was hair loss. In that year I lost approximately 60-70% of my hair. At the time of losing my hair I was fortunate that I had a lot of hair to start with and I was able to be put on medication which I responded to by slowing down the hair loss and other symptoms. But I still remember the fear I felt for being different at school and the confidence I lost having my hair fall out as well as the obvious hair regrowth. During lockdown many of us were forced to not have hair cuts and that was when I decided I would take the opportunity grow my hair to be used for a wig to be donated to a child.

I was then advised that the Princess Trust have a greatest need for hair donations over 16 inches. So I persevered and I am now ready to donate at 20 inches.

I would be so grateful if anyone could donate any pennies towards helping make a wig for a child with my hair I am donating.

Thank you so much x
