Three brave volunteers have had their long locks chopped in a bid to raise vital funds to pay for cancer treatment for a family friend.
Fifteen-year-old Amy Groves and her younger sister Evie, who is 10, together with Amy’s godmother Fay Matthews-Jones faced the scissors on Tuesday evening to boost the fundraising campaign of Warrington Guardian columnist Mel O’Neill, who has been battling cancer for the past 10 years and needs £1,200 for each dose of her medication.
Not only will the trio’s efforts help Mel pay for her essential treatment every three weeks but their hair will be donated to Little Princess Trust, to make real hair wigs and hair pieces for children and young people who have lost their own due to cancer.
