Lennon Evans, a teen from Birmingham, did something cool. He grew his hair really long, about 19 inches, and then cut it off to help kids with cancer.

Lennon’s awesome hair journey lasted five years. He donated his hair and raised money. A barber in Nottingham gave him the big chop, helping The Little Princess Trust.

He goes to Cockshut Hill School in Yardley. Lennon raised over £2,000, enough for at least two wigs for kids who lost their hair.

Lennon wanted to help kids feel better, knowing hair loss during treatment is tough. Each wig costs about £700 to make, and he hoped to fund one, or even more!

His mom, Marie Holman, shared that he saw the impact of hair loss, so he wanted to find a way to donate his hair. The Little Princess Trust was a great fit for his donation.

Cockshut Hill School really supported Lennon, who collected donations daily. A friend even hosted the haircut for him, and he’s thrilled with the total amount raised.

The Little Princess Trust provides free wigs to kids facing cancer or other conditions, like alopecia. The charity also funds childhood cancer research. They depend on support from generous people; this lets them give “Hair and Hope” for many young people.
