Teenager, Keira Evans, 13, had her hair cut off at a March hairdressing salon to make wig for a children’s cancer charity,
Keira and her mother Joanne Evans joined forces with Claire’s Hairdresser in Burrowmoor Road in a bid to raise £350 for the Little Princess Trust.
Her mum Joanne said: “My friend’s son is battling with cancer. It’s heart breaking to see such a beautiful little boy be so poorly, yet he’s always smiling.”
Keira had her hair measured and weighed. It was then placed into a food bag to keep clean before being sent to The Princess Trust to go to China.
It takes five hair donations to make one wig.
Claire Baker, owner of Claire’s hair salon, said: “It’s a good charity and will help a lot of children.”
