A nine-year-old girl from Puriton, just outside Bridgwater, has wowed her community with an incredible act of kindness that will benefit 2 charities.
Tabby recently decided to part with her luscious locks in a spontaneous 'chop' donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to children suffering hair loss.
Tabby also raised an impressive £750 in sponsorship for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). Tabby’s effort was inspired by her own experiences with the charity, as her 14-year-old brother, Logan, who has Cerebral Palsy, frequently visits Charlton Farm Hospice in Wraxall, receiving invaluable support.
Tabby's mum, who has seen first-hand the impact the hospice has had on their family, is incredibly proud of her daughter’s generosity.
Lucie Perryman, Area Fundraiser for CHSW said:
Tabby is such an inspirational young fundraiser. To come up with such a generous idea while also raising such an incredible amount of money is truly brilliant.
Tabby’s selfless act is a shining example of how small acts of kindness can make a huge impact.
