A Burnham-On-Sea fundraiser has raised hundreds of pounds for charity by having her head shaved.
Laura Chalmers had her head shaved on Tuesday (March 25th) and has given the locks of hair and donations received to The Little Princess Trust.
The trust makes wigs out of hair donations and gives them to sick children who need wigs after chemotherapy.
Laura invited a friend to take all her hair off, as pictured here, and said: “Losing your hair can be a heartbreaking experience, especially for young people. I wanted to support a dear friend. By shaving my head, I hope to show them that they are not alone and that their bravery inspires us all. I’m honoured to support the Little Princess Trust, whose work has such a profound impact on children’s lives.”

“The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions such as Alopecia.”
“The charity is also one of the largest funders of childhood cancer research in the UK.”
“My dear friend was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas. I was blessed to be there when she donated her hair for a child’s wig, so this is something close to her heart. I agreed to let her loose and shave my hair off and raise money to help a child with cancer get a wig.”
