AN incredible Barrow boy has had his long blonde locks cut in memory of his friend. Described by his mum as a kind little soul, soon to be seven-year-old Thomas Machell has cut his hair to raise money for The National Society of Epilepsy after his close friend sadly passed away in 2018. Thomas Machell, a pupil at Chetwynde School, started growing his hair at just four years old after seeing someone on TV having a sponsored haircut. This inspired him to set out his own mission of growing his hair and start a fundraiser. The youngster has raised more than £2,000 for the charity and will also donate his hair to the Little Princess Trust.
