In 2004 Hannah Tarplee was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour. Hannah loved her hair and losing it was very traumatic for her. Her parents searched high and low to find a wig suitable during her treatment. When they found one, it had a hugely positive effect on Hannah.
Tragically, Hannah passed away in 2005 and with so many kind offers of help, her parents felt the most fitting tribute would be to launch a charity dedicated to providing real hair wigs for children and young people.
The Little Princess Trust now provides around 2,000 real hair wigs a year and also funds research searching for kinder and more effective treatments for all childhood cancers.
It costs £150 to style and fit a wig and £550 to make a wig, so any funds you raise will be a huge help to The Little Princess Trust and the children and young people the charity supports.
