Abbie’s Amazing Fundraising Achievement
In November, Ivybridge Community College Year 13 student, Abbie Tweedle, donated 15 inches of her hair for both The Little Princess Trust and Cancer Research UK after seeing first-hand the devastating impacts that both cancer and hair loss can have on individuals and their families.
“I had been growing my hair for over 2 years with the hope of creating a natural long wig for a child undergoing chemotherapy or following hair loss caused by other conditions. It meant a lot to me to see all my wonderful friends and family showing their support by donating to this amazing charity and so far, I have managed to raise over £700 for Cancer Research so they can continue with the essential work that they do in finding a cure for cancer.” said Abbie.
