Wigan four-year-old girl loses he locks for The Little Princess Trust

Hannah-Rose, four, is a little girl with a very big heart who at such a young age has decided to gift her locks after being inspired by her mum’s friends who have been dealing with cancer.

It was four weeks ago that Hannah-Rose committed to having 10ins of her hair removed and now she has attended a celebration at Aspull Church School, where she is a pupil, and was presented with a special mention and an award during the assembly.

She even had the opportunity to have her name put on the school’s special golden tree.

Hannah-Rose’s mum, Marie Bamber, 43, said: “She’s always had such a good head of hair and I just thought it would be nice to give something back. It’s only the third haircut that she’s ever had.

"I’ve explained it to her that some children are poorly and don’t have any hair and she was just absolutely made up that she could give someone her hair to make them happy.”

Hannah-Rose and her mum decided to donate the hair to a UK charity called The Little Princess Trust.

The charity provides free, real-hair wigs to children and young people up to age 24 who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or conditions like alopecia.

It also funds vital research into kinder childhood cancer treatments.

On how proud she is of Hannah-Rose, Marie said: “I’m massively proud. She’s only four and it’s such a massive thing to be able to put a smile on another kid’s face as well."

Now, they hope that this will become something that Hannah-Rose can do annually and raise money alongside the hair donation for charity too.

Marie said: “I wish I had raised money but it’s something that she wants to carry on doing so we might do that next time.

"Her hair does grow so quickly and I think we will probably do a full fund-raiser and get other people involved in it next time.”
