Last weekend we met a fundraising superstar, Ellie Bate, who
was brave enough to have her long locks cut off for a good cause.
15-year-old Ellie came into the Pink hair salon for a haircut
with a difference – rather than just leaving the hair to be swept up off the
floor, Ellie chose to donate her hair – all 15 inches - to The Little Princess
Trust, raising an amazing £355!
The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs to boys
and girls throughout the UK who have lost their hair due to cancer
treatment. Real hair wigs are provided
free of charge to the children helped by the charity, however they do rely on hair
donations from kind hearted individuals such as Ellie, otherwise they have to
purchase the most suitable wig for each child at a considerable cost to the
trust.
Ellie’s donation is therefore not only saving The Little
Princess Trust valuable money but giving a young person their confidence and
identity back, whilst they deal with a difficult condition.
We’d like to say a big well done and thanks to Ellie for
being such a proud supporter of this fantastic children’s cancer charity.
For more information on our human hair wigs and
how we can provide support and hair replacement products following chemotherapy
treatment please call the Pink team today on 0121 350 3826 or stop by our
