One day, when my mum was getting her haircut she showed me pictures of her friend’s daughter who cut and donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust.  I decided then that I too wanted to make a difference and donate my hair to charity.

My hair was already really long (as you can see in the picture).  My mum set up a Just Giving page as, not only did I want to donate my hair but I also wanted to raise money for the charity.  I did a lot of research on the charity and shared this with my class just before Christmas. On Friday 22^nd of December, when school closed for the Christmas holidays, I headed off to the hairdressers and got 9 1/2 “ of hair cut off and this was sent away to the charity along with my donation.

I set myself a target of raising £150 and couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at my Just Giving page and saw that I had managed to raise £552!!!

I love my new shorter hairstyle (even more than I did my old hairstyle) and would definitely recommend donating, either hair or money, to the Little Princess Trust charity.By Hannah Fitzpatrick
