Sofiya posted this a few months ago to help raise awareness and fund raise for her chosen charity – Little Princess Trust and Mind Over Cancer
“ I want to raise a little bit of money for Mind Over Cancer because it’s my mums birthday week and she was diagnosed with cancer at 16 and it’s been 16 years since she was diagnosed so I think it’s extra special to do it this year to help raise money to help young people with cancer.
I have thought for a long time about cutting my hair, many of you will know how long it is and how much I love it! But I have decided for sure this time that I’m doing it and donating it to The Little Princess Trust because I want to help people like my mum to feel good about themselves and let them get back something they lost.
Mind Over Cancer is a brand new charity founded by mum’s friend Susie. She has been an amazing support to mum and always ready with a smile and a hug. Mum believes this new charity so so much and only dreams of the support it will give to others like her.
The Little Princess Trust started in 2006, a year after mum finished treatment and had lost her hair twice. They state their ‘greatest need is for hair donations that are 16″ (41cm) or longer’. 16!? Perfect. I can do that.
The Big Trim will be on the 24th July! This will mark the date mum celebrated her 21st birthday and the end of her cancer treatment. It was the focus point for her throughout her 3rd battle and the agreed aim between her, the family and her oncologist- ‘to be out by my 21st’ and they made it.
Fast Forward…..
“I cut my hair off to help someone who is/was affected by cancer because no one should have to go through that. Whilst doing so I raised money for Mind Over Cancer which is a charity to help chemo patients with their mental health through their journey.” ~ Sofiya ❤️
