NINE-YEAR-OLD ABIGAIL RAISES £1,000 BY CHOPPING LONG LOCKS

A NINE-YEAR-oLD girl from Mirfield has raised more than £1,000 for a cancer charity.

Abigail Preece donated 16 inches of her long locks to the Little Princess Trust after having it cut for the first time in her life at the Cutting Rooms earlier this month.

The charity provides free wigs made from real hair to children who lose theirs due to cancer and relies on donations as it receives no formal funding.
