That’s magic, Ysabella!

Date published: 24 February 2015


KIND-HEARTED Ysabella Strudwick said goodbye to her “magic hair” as it was cut off to donate to a charity which makes wigs for children with cancer.

The nine year old was inspired to support the Little Princess Trust after battling leukaemia and losing her own hair during treatment.

Ysabella, from Failsworth, underwent six months of gruelling chemotherapy when she was only five months old and lost her dark hair. When it grew back later it was... blonde “magic hair”, as the youngster called it

Ysabella always refused anything more than a trim - and her mum Sarah was shocked when she asked to have it cut off for charity.

Her hair was cut in front of the school at Mather Street Primary School, nine years after her treatment.

Ysabella has raised almost £700 so far for the charity.
