“She gets her treatment at The Wythenshawe centre numerous times a year. I wanted to give the centre something back for looking after her, as the charity means lots to our family.
“I also didn’t want to stop there as I realised somebody could benefit from my actual hair. So I wanted to donated the actual hair to Princess Trust where children can benefit from my hair to make wigs.”
Shannon has raised £165 but is hoping to reach £500.
