I am 8 years old and i would not like it if I had lost my hair, I have always had long hair. i asked my mum if i could have it cut short. and told her i wanted someone that had lost theres to have it. so yesterday i had 1ft of my hair cut off and i will be sending it to you i hope you can use it and it makes someone happy. My mum and i think what you do is great and i,m very happy that we found you web page.

Susannah Lewis from Peterborough 06 Jan 2007
Hi, im Susannah and i go to Peterborough high school in cambridgeshire. my best friend Emily Morgan had her hair cut for the wigs for kids charity, which does the same thing as you but does not fund the wigs. when emily heard that the family recieving the wig would have to pay £2000 she decided to be sponsered. Harriet Martin from our school also had her hair cut, but she donated it and her sponser money to you. emily heard about your work and was so imspires that she decided to send half of her sponsership money to you. she raised a grand total of over £800, so you should recieve half of that sometime soon, and her bob really suits her. i had just had my hair cut short, so now i am growing it again so that i can send it to you. i think what you do is really inspirational and im looking forward to being a part of it.

Katie from Middlewich 28 Jan 2007
Hi, for various reasons, I am having to get my extra long hair cut short, and I thought it would be great if I could donate it to a charity just like yours, and mum has always said that you could get two wigs out of it. I don't know about two anymore; as part of the reason I'm having it cut short is it's gone thinner due to aneamia and the scalp can't take the weight of long hair, but you should get one wig out of it I hope. The day has been set, and you should receive my plait in a couple of weeks.

Donna Martin from Hillingdon 09 Feb 2007
Hi, I recently started working as a secretary to a Consultant Oncologist. Last year, I found a lump in breast - fortunately just fatty tissue. I decided to get my hair cut as it was far too long (waist length) and was starting to thin because of the weight of it. Somebody at work suggested that I donate it to a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer - I'd never even heard of it! So, I got it cut, right up to my jaw. I'm posting my hair to you tomorrow. I've also told Toni&Guy, where I had it cut, that anyone else who has over 10" cut off should do the same. I was lucky and found out about you through my colleague and Google - you need to spread the word!! You're doing a great job xxxxxx

Liz Stott from Kenmore 09 Apr 2007
Our charity night for the "Great Hair Cut" was a great success, we managed a total of 105 inches of hair!! Sponsorship is standing around £1600 at the moment and hopefully still rising. We are going to carry on for the rest of the summer raising money for you with bingo nights etc. and hopefully raise a lot more. I had my head shaved on the night and it actually looks quite cool!! Recommend it to everybody to try it! :-))))) Keep up the good work. Hair will be posted out this week. All the best, Liz Stott.

kath from horwich bolton 10 Apr 2007
hi my 14 yr old has had her cut and has posted it to you today.

Kiran Nagampalli from langley Berkshire 18 Feb 2007
Hi,my little 4 years old daughter is having chemotherapy and will be soon losing all her hair.She keeps saying 'mummy please help me i do not want all my hair to go away'.I was feeling quite helpless and i called National cancer information service and they provided me this number. I now feel happy that i will now be able to help my daughter.

Pat Tortoishell from Birmingham 18 Feb 2007
My 5 year old Granddaughter has just been diagnosed with cancer and your details were passed to my daughter by Great Ormond Street. I'm sure you will be able to help when the time comes and my daughter will contact you.

Sharon Barrett from Bristol 20 Feb 2007
Finally somewhere worthy in the UK I can donate my hair to! I saw your details on Take a Break magazine and whooped for joy, hehe! My 'Chop for Charity' should be happening in the near future and you should be getting about 18 inches of my hair. It will be my first proper haircut since I was 12 - I can't think of a better place for it to go.

Melanie from Leeds 24 Feb 2007
Saw a story in a magazine about a little girl donating her hair. I started my chemo yesterday and am shaving my hair off tomorrow to raise money for breast cancer research so I cannt think of anything better than sending my hair to you to benefit someone else. Keep up the good work x

Samatha Hutcheon from Cupar Fife Scotland 25 Feb 2007
My mum was reading her magazine and seen a story about a girl who donated her hair to yourself. My gran has just been given the all clear for breast cancer (which I am so happy about)and I wanted to do something to help others suffering from cancer. So I have just had my long hair cut short and hope my donation of hair can go to help at least one child who is suffering from cancer. Love Samantha age 10

Gemma Feldon from Cardiff 07 Mar 2007
Congratulations on a fantastic organisation. I hope my donation will make someone feel like a princess or prince. I will be sure to pass your details on to the local hairdressers.

laura from nottingham 13 Apr 2007

Sophie Wragg from Shropshire 26 Feb 2007
I go to H.C.S and I was there when Hannah passed away. I think that this is a very passionate charity and I think they do a brilliant jib and everyone should keep donating, I know that the senior school are raising some money for the Little Princess Trust on our charties day. Best of luck

Elizabeth from Brentwood 09 Mar 2007
Like Christina I read about you in the magazine. I wanted to get my hair cut anyway, so I am glad that it will be able to help someone else. Now I've got your address I can have it cut.

Carla Shaw from Telford 09 Mar 2007

Christine atkinson from reading 27 Feb 2007

bev moore from Gillingham Kent 27 Feb 2007
Hi I was told that my daughter was suffering from alopecia she was three at the time they said she had a 50/50 chance of it growing back. She is now 11 and there has been very little change infact she has faint eyebrows and that is that. she gets acrylic wigs from the nhs but she is due to start secondery school in september 2007 and we would like to get a natural looking wig for her.I was so pleased to see that from your website that you can probably help. Thanks

PETER ROGER MACHIN from 28 Feb 2007
I had the pleasure of fitting a wig for a young lady named ******* on Wednesday aged 13 she felt she could not go to school with her so called friends making comments about her hair,hey presto her mother sent me a email to tell me after she left our salon she went straight back to school,she looked stunning now that makes you feel so good so you can imagine how kriston felt. Your trust is brilliant well done.

paula curtis from llantwit major 16 Apr 2007
I am growing my hair and was looking for a charity with refernce to provide natural wigs for children or adults in which to donate my hair once a suitable length. However my hair is now very highlighted with grey or do I say it white and may not br suitable for younger people

Denise Francis from Hereford 20 Apr 2007
Hi, my name is Sophie and I would like to thank all you people out there offering help with the hair pieces. I am one of those little princesses benefiting from this trust as I lost my hair last October after being dianosed with leukemia in the august. I cannot tell you how the new hair has helped me re build my life after such devastating news. I had always been a very well child and loved sport, did swimming for the school and played in a girls league football. All had to stop. My hair falling out though had to be my worst experience not only for me but for my mum dad brothers and sisters too. I at 11 years of age was their baby. Unless you have experienced something like this, no one can ever understand how it feels to see the hair bit by bit fall out and no one can ever describe to you how grateful we are to people like yourselves willing to donate, we can continue to enjoy life and feel pretty good too. Thankyou Sophie

Carl Wilkinson from Rotherham 20 Apr 2007

Sabena Quan-HIn from Shanghai, China 22 Apr 2007

Georgia O'Donnell from Sheffield 15 May 2007
I am 9 and heard about donating hair to cancer charities.I thought about giving my hair and at first i wasn't sure but now i am much more keen to do it because i realised mine will grow back and other people's with cancer won't.Now i have made some sponsorship forms and are having my hair cut off in about a week.

Shirley Brown from Hawick 27 Apr 2007
I had my waist length hair cut yesterday and look forward to sending you my 17 inch ponytail. I also raised money for the four sick children in our small town at the moment, currently the total is around £1500 and rising. Hope my hair is of some use to some "little princess". Thanks Shirley

Eleni from Exeter 02 May 2007
Yesterday I chopped off all my long, thick hair (at least a foot long, maybe longer) to send off to your charity! I've never had my hair short (there's only about an inch left of it now!) so it was very exciting! The hairdresser was so kind, he didn't charge me for my haircut because he knew I was doing it for charity, which was really touching. I hope my hair will make some little girl feel very happy and special!

Vicky Cook from Cumbernauld, Glasgow 25 Mar 2007
I recently got my shoulder length hair cut right up to a spiky boys sort of style and was looking for somewhere to send my ponytail. I believe I just found the place I was looking for. Hopefully it will be of use and will make a child very happy. It will be with you soon.

Becky D from Chester-le-street 26 Mar 2007

Hi, I am a NeuroOncology Nurse specialist and you gave a little princess yesterday a dream come true. You remarkably created a hairpiece for her and delivered in 5 hours, you will not believe how happy she now is. Thank-you so much for creating this wish. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Lydia Cuthbertson from Port Talbot 02 Apr 2007
A friend of mine said 'why don't you donate your hair to a charity' I had never heard of this so I searched on the internet and found your charity. I was inspired by your site and the other donators so this afternoon I cut my hair and you should recieve it in the post shortly. I hope it makes a difference to somebody, thanks Lydia

Emma Francis from Gillingham D 04 Apr 2007

We often have people come in to our salon requesting a complete restyle of their hairstyle and have 8-12 inches cut off their clean, washed hair. Can we donate this clean hair to you instead of throwing it away? Heather Thomas Hairstylist & partner Tel 01275 342134

I was going to lose my lovely long hair through raiotherapy shortly and today I went to the wonderful Paul Charles and Angie of course and had a very funky short cut and the rest is on its way to you wonderful people. Angie has already found another client to donate to you in a couple of weeks and hopefully many more. This has made the impending loss of my hair so much easier to deal with. Thank you x & the Kittles x Lu x
