I just want to spread the word on something I feel is a great idea. The Little Princess Trust is a charity that provide little girls and boys across the UK and Ireland with real hair wigs. These are usually children that have lost their hair due to cancer treatment.
I think this is a great idea, especially for young children, it can help give them extra confidence at a bad time.
The link is: http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk
The charity accept hair donations as well as money. All of the information for both are on this website.
I'm about to donate for the second time, and I hope that anyone who reads this understands how amazing this charity is. I know that hair is not the most important thing in a persons life, for most people it grows and you cut it, but you have to understand that for those who have lost their hair, it can become more important. Although we dont always acknowledge it, our hair is a part of our identity. We change it regularly to match our moods, our styles, the weather, fashion and so on. As a redhead, or ginger, carrot top, copper top, bacon bonce, whatever you want to call it, I've always been seen as being slightly different, merely because of the colour of my hair. The one time I decided to radically change it I felt lost. This is what those children must feel like, and this charity helps give them back that identity.
Anyways, please look into this. I hope it touches your hearts as it has mine.
