Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hair is something most people take for granted, but what happens when you lose your own?

When I was younger, me and my sister would play hairdressers for hours, making wacky creations with butterfly clips and scrunchies. A Saturday afternoon, probably taken for granted. There are hundreds of children who are diagnosed with cancer each year and many of these will sadly lost their hair through their treatment.

After so many comments of 'Oh my, your hair is so long' or 'you look like Rapunzel', I thought to myself why can't a child, who has lost their hair due to cancer treatment or alopecia, have that too.

So, I decided they can have mine. On the 15th October, I am going for the chop. Rapunzel I will be no more.

All donations will be greatly appreciated, no matter how small, just as a little extra to the Little Princess Trust. The cost to purchase one wig for a child is around £350-£500.
