Brave little princess

A BRAVE little girl desperate to help cancer-stricken youngsters has donated her beloved long hair to a wig-making charity.

Elyse Taylor, who is only four-years-old, made the bold decision after seeing a poster advertising The Little Princess Trust.

The charity was appealing for hair donations to make luxury wigs for children who have lost their own due to side effects of the treatment.

Elyse took it upon herself to start growing her hair to the minimum length needed, a hefty 12 inches, and took the plunge at The Edge salon, Lees.

Elyse also had to provide the cost of making a wig, which is £300, so has spent the last few weeks asking for sponsors.
