Eliza-Grace Collier has been raising money for The Little Princess Trust since April 13 after being inspired by a YouTube video about other children cutting their hair for the cancer support charity.
Facing the scissors on April 26, she gave up ten inches of her eighteen-inch long hair- which she had grown out to look like Rapunzel- to the cancer support charity.

Eliza had her haircut at home by family hairdresser Mel, but, as a special treat for her donation, MVbeauty in the Hilton Hotel Avisford gave her a free pamper treatment, including a free manicure, pedicure and foot massage. ge.
Mum Lisa Collier,41, said her daughter “was made to feel like a real princess” and that she “absolutely loved it,” but Eliza insists the real pleasure came from knowing she had helped someone in need: “The reason I’m not missing (my hair) is because I know that someone out there actually needs my hair,” she said.
“She was really brave,” Ms Collier added. “I was quite emotional watching it, I didn’t think I would be but I really was. It’s just sheer pride, though. She’s an amazing little girl and I couldn’t be more proud.”
Eliza-Grace’s fundraiser will continue until May 21, giving her even more time to raise money for The Little Princess Trust.
