A cancer survivor from Hemel Hempstead will be cutting off 40cm of her hair this month to raise money for the Hospice of St Francis.
Emma Rees, 41, will be joined by her godson four-year-old Hughie Roberts on Tuesday, May 25, who will also be getting his hair cut for charity - the pair will be donating their hair to The Little Princess Trust.
The Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24 years, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions
As you make your way through the trail, you’ll see white anemones followed by a wash of vibrant bluebells that have been established over centuries.
Make the most of your time by taking a pause on one of the seats to enjoy a moment’s tranquillity amid oak trees and hornbeams in the ancient wood.
