CHARITY: A Donegal woman is planning to cut off her ponytail and donate it to the Little Princess Trust.
Lauren M Mc Eleney, from Clonmany is parting with her luscious locks in an effort to raise further awareness on children’s cancer.
The Little Princess Trust, is a charity organization which makes wigs for children suffering from cancer, and Lauren will donate her ponytail to the Little Princess Trust.
Lauren has also set up a go-fund-me page online, as part of an upcoming nursing placement she is undertaking in Sri Lanka.
Lauren wrote, ” So anyone who has known me within this last 10 years would know me with long hair, well that’s about to change.
“I am planning to cut off my ponytail and donate my hair to the Little Princess Trust which is a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer.
“Along with this I plan to travel to Sri Lanka to undertake a children’s nursing placement for 4 weeks as part of my nursing degree with projects abroad. All money raised will go towards funding this placement in Sri Lanka.
“Any additional money raised will provide the local communities of Sri Lanka with some much needed life saving medical equipment. My aim is to reach a target of £500 by the 1st of September so any donation no matter how little would be greatly appreciated and would go a long way towards my elective placement in Sri Lanka.”
