GOING, going, gone – kind-hearted Fort Augustus youngster Lucy Burnett said goodbye to her flowing locks recently, all in the name of charity.
The proud eight-year-old’s mum, Jennifer, took a series of snaps as Lucy surrendered her hair in aid of the Little Princess charity.
They make wigs for children who lose their own hair due to cancer treatment or other medical causes.
As the Inverness Courier reported recently Lucy had stunned her mum when she came from school one day determined to go for the chop herself in aid of the deserving cause. Mrs Burnett said at the time: “It actually took her ages to grow her hair, far longer than other girls, and she would often look at them and say, ‘I wish I had hair like that’.”
She added: “It was very surprising, but she is a very kind-hearted girl, always looking out for others.”
Lucy’s heroic efforts have raised a total of £610.34 so far, with a few more donations still to come in.
This fantastic sum smashes her original fundraising target which had been set at just £250.
