In the upcoming months, Amanda Smith will be growing her hair ready for the final chop in August. The hair will be donated to the Little Princess Trust, a charity who uses donated hair to create real hair wigs which they give to children and young adults who are suffering hair loss due to illnesses such as Cancer and Alopecia. This is not the charity’s only focus. All proceeds raised in the run up to the hair cut will also contribute to enabling research to continue in the field of Childhood Cancer. Therefore, the employees here at Hodgkinsons will be working together to raise as much money as possible for the charity by hosting in-office fundraising initiatives.
Amanda Smith, employee of Hodgkinsons Solicitors commented: “I am not doing this to change my life, but to change the life of someone else. We often take things such as our hair for granted, whilst for others, having hair is a distant dream. I hope that by donating some of my hair I might help a young person through their battle by boosting their confidence and motivating them to keep fighting.”
Amanda will be cutting her hair in August; however, the hairdresser remains a mystery! The event will be held during a day of fundraising here at Hodgkinson’s offices. In the running up to the event we will be documenting Amanda’s journey in the form of blogs, social media posts and one exclusive interview! To join us on this experience, keep up to date with all our activities!
We are counting on people like you to donate to this great cause and we would be extremely grateful for any donations irrespective of size. If you would like to donate you can do so via our collection pot located in the reception of our main building, or you can donate online through Amanda’s Just Giving Page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/amanda-smith129
