Fundraising by Imogen Mereweather in Year 3
Imogen Mereweather in Year 3 has decided to cut her hair for the Little Princess Trust. As a charity that provides wigs for child cancer patients for free, there is a cost involved in making these wigs, and Imogen would love to make enough money to turn the hair she is donating (12 inches) into a wig for a child. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your support.
