Cordelia Dodd and Aya Marshall, aged eight, aimed to support Freddie’s Future (a fund for the Bone Cancer Research Trust) and the Little Princess Trust charity.

The girls took part in a sponsored haircut after being inspired by seeing what their schoolmate, Freddie Croft, went through after being diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma.

They have raised over £1300 so far but hope to raise more.

Their hair was donated to the Little Princess Trust which provides wigs free of charge to children who have lost their own hair. Cordelia grew her hair for three years and donated 14” of her tresses to the charity, while Aya was able to donate 10” of hair.
