Maddie has been on a mission for a good few months now to grow her hair just that little bit longer and all for a very good reason! Over half term she managed to donate 14” of her hair to Little Princess Trust. 

 When a child loses their hair to cancer, Little Princess Trust are there with a free, real hair wig to help restore their confidence and identity. Maddie did her part not only by giving hair and hope to children and young people, but also raised £464 to fund the real hair wigs and ground-breaking childhood cancer research projects.

We are immensely proud of you Maddie!
