My Story
Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page! My name is Heather Harrison, I am 21 years old, I'm currently living in Dundee at University but from the Lake District originally. On the 26th November 2016 I cut off my hair and donated it to the Little Princess Trust. The charity gives kids with cancer a massive boost in their self esteem through the most challenging point in their life; by providing real hair wigs, free of charge, to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland that have lost their own hair through cancer treatment. Now just over 4 years later, after growing it out in preparation, I will be cutting off **15 inches** of my hair again on the 3rd July 2021 and donating it to the Little Princess Trust. The money I raise will go to Cancer Research UK, to help fund life-saving research and to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. Their work is absolutely vital and is something that is held close to everyone's hearts, any donations you can make are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
