12-year-old girl is donating her hair to help children and young people who have lost theirs

A kind-hearted 12-year-old girl is preparing to make a remarkable difference this June by donating her hair to help children and young people who have lost theirs.

Francesca from Wath-upon-Dearne has chosen to have her long hair cut and donated to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real-hair wigs to children and young people experiencing hair loss.

A spokesperson for Francesca's family said: “Francesca, who has Down’s syndrome, is determined to help others and is embracing this challenge with enthusiasm and compassion.

“But she isn't stopping there – alongside donating her hair, Francesca is raising funds to support the work of the Little Princess Trust.
