Hey all,
My little girl has decided to cut her stupidly long hair off so she can donate it to the little Princess Trust. This charity was set up to make wigs for children with health problems which can range from cancer treatment to alopecia.
I'm extremely proud of her not only because I know how much she loves her long locks but mainly because she's 7 and decided to do this all herself!!
Each wig costs up to £500 to be made by the charity so as well as donating her locks she's also trying to raise some money whilst she's at it. She's almost there now and very close to the £500 she wanted to raise so I'm having a last push in the hope we can put a smile on her face as big as the lucky child that will end up with a 20" wig!
I know times are tight and I'm not one to come on here asking people so as an incentive I've got a brand new Troy Lee Designs short sleeve jersey that I'll give to one lucky donatee. So if you've got a couple of quid in your paypal account and fancy a new jersey it'd be awesome if you could help out.
You might get a cool jersey for a bargain price or worse case scenario you've made a child very happy and ultimately karma will swing around when you bump into that hot girl / boy you see every few weeks.
Donations can be through her justgiving page here....

If you make a donation, post on here saying so and I'll get her to conjure up a prize draw for the jersey later!!
Joanna Rowsell is also ambassador for the Little Princess Trust if you need any further tenuous cycling links!!!

^ Good man.
welcome, and well done her!
What a nice kid you have there. I've just donated a bit.
Great idea and a great kid you have there, donated.
Thanks muchly Bluebird & Alphabet!!
I do love the kindness of strangers!
Just noticed there's an anonymous donation on there. Make sure you either put your name on there or here so I don't miss anyone off the prize drawer!
Such a great thing to do. donation paid over. and I've spread the link around a few people at work and others, they may not be into cycling but that's not the point here is it.
keep up the good work

Unsponsored, bear & Marp all onboard and have helped to get us past £700!!!!
Wow amazing stuff everyone. Evie's well chuffed and so thankful to you all!!
Just donated.
You must be very proud to have such a kind and unselfish daughter.
Hope she enjoys the haircut!
Hello just donated, well done Evie!
Excellent work peeps.
Thank you muchly chopper and vondally!!
Evie is loving the messages of support and giggling to herself at all of your funny names!
Just et a donation, well done to her
Just donated mate , what a little star you've got there !
Thanks easygirl and crapjumper.
The totals doing amazingly. We have also received a few offline donations so could even hit over £1000 when all done. Astounding!!
I'll leave the drawer until Sunday eve in case we get any last minute donations and Evie want to conjure up some method of selecting that currently includes the dog 😕
Thanks everyone once again!
friendly bump
To note, I won't be giving the jersey away if I win 🙂
How much inc offline is she away from £1k?
£783.00 Online
maybe £100.00 offline but I'll try and get these online over the weekend.
I reckon she's very close now. Theres also a couple of boxes we made up at the school and the hairdressers who'd doing the chop so should hopefully get a few quid from there as well.
Add to that the £185.25 in gift aid additions currently online and it might even be on its way to £1500.00 which is quite frankly crazy!!!
The girls doing good!
She's doing great and such a lovely mind that wants to do such a thing. You must be ridiculously proud!
that is awesome!
Depending who your employer is they may match fund at least part of the fundraising that's taken place
A lot of places don't advertise it
What a smashing cause! What a thoughtful girl you have!
Good girl. Fiver in.
What a lovely thing to do. I'm in!
Great job donated
Doffs hat to Jef, Shifter, Jkomo & Lungman.
Thanks one and all!
nice one!
What a nice thing to do 🙂
Well, how did it go today?!
Don't know about the hair cut but the running total appears to have hit that magic 1k figure 😉
Hey everyone!
Well it's been a long busy day but Evie did amazingly!!
After being brought into the hall she was sat on her own in front of 300 children whilst the head teacher rambled on and on.
I was amazed at how brave she was, she's a fairly quiet and timid girl but she sat there beaming away and looked so happy.
No tears as the chop took place and within a few seconds we had over 20" of hair ready to go to some other special little girl.
It's been a long day for her so we are going to do the draw tomorrow after school as she wants to make a little video to say thank you to you all.
As you can imagine I'm a very very proud dad today and you lot should be to. We still need to get the remnants in and have a final count up but I'm confident we'll be topping the £1500 figure which is astounding bearing in mind the original £500 figure I thought was reaching a bit!!
So until tomorrow it's a big thank you for your part in her little adventure and a big smile from the special girl herself!

She does look properly cool with her new Bob.
Great stuff proud dad.
Wow!
huge thank you to everyone especially those that have done so in the last 24 hours! This total keeps going up!!
Ahead of the draw this evening can I just make sure I've got everyone ready for the draw. By reckoning it should be those listed below but shout if your not down as not everyone posted on here and I've done my best at trawling through the donations on the justgiving page!
