We could not be more proud of one of our Rising Stars…
I'm Demi and I am 8 years old. I have been growing my hair for two years so I can donate it to the Little Princess Trust. People think that it's only grown ups who get cancer but that's not right. Kids can also get it, and the treatment they get can make them lose their hair. I'll miss my long hair but there are others with none so they need it more than me.
I'm having it cut on 3rd March and want to raise as much money as I can so it can be sent off with the hair. Thank you for anything you can give.
Here is some information about the charity:
The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young people up to the age of 24 that have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.The Trust relies solely on the efforts of enthusiastic community fundraisers. We receive no formal funding. Please help us by donating through Demi’s Just Giving page:

Some of the biggest names in television have sent messages of support to a Canterbury schoolgirl who is preparing to cut her hair for charity.
Eight-year-old Demi Sampson is donating her long locks to the Little Princess Trust so they can be made into a wig for sick children. But the decision hasn't been a snap one for the Canterbury Primary pupil, as she committed to the challenge more than two years ago and has been growing her tresses ever since.
