Story



I'm 81 years old and very proud of my unusually abundant hair. However, I will be cutting it off to support two important charities. As soon as my hair has reached the required length it will be donated to the Little Princess charity (https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-hair) to be contributed to a much needed wig. Your donations will go towards the Motor Neuron Disease Appeal. MND is often a long-term illness resulting in premature death. It has a profound effect on the sufferers and their families. Please give generously!
