Today post I about an amazing trust and project I will be taking part in on the 20th of September: the little princess trust.
What is it? Well the little princess trust is a charity which uses real hair to make wigs for girls and boys who have lost their hair -usually through cancer treatments, but alapecia as well- across the uk. They accept donations regularly of a minimum of 7 inches from ordinary people and even some famous faces (Jessie J's hair was donated after she shaved her hair) and that's where I come in. Myself and 4 other girls will be donating hair to the cause on the 20th September, 2 of which are actually shaving their heads completely. I decided to donate hair to the cause because it's something I'm really passionate about. After losing my grandad to cancer in october, my grandma was diagnosed as terminally ill with cervical cancer. It was devasting for the entire family, especially my mam, who's best friend is also terminally ill due to ovarian cancer. Having seen how hard it was for both women to lose their hair it made me realise how hard it must be for anyone of any age to go through, hence my deduction to try and find a way to get involved, which led to meeting Nicola Pearce, one of the women shaving her head.
My hair is about 25 inches and reaches my waist, so 7 inches will take my hair to about 18inches just below my shoulders. 
Mine isn't the longest however, as most of the girls hair comes to about waist or hip length so the cut will be a huge change to us. So because of this together we have collectively created a just giving page so that any sponsor money raised on this page could go to cancer research as well ( thus helping two charities at once). It really is a good cause and we're hoping people can see how much these means to is in order to sponsor us :)
So anyone who feels generous enough to sponsor us any amount would be gratefully appreciated! The page is www.justgiving.com/Nicola-Pearce3
Again any support or donations you can make a greatfully accepted and would be a huge support!
