Hi. My name is Emma. I'm raising money for the little Princess trust after hearing my next door neighbours story. In March 2025 Gracie started with sickness & feeling tired. Once that wore off she started with double vision. A quick trip to the opticians revealed something was pushing on the back of her eye. A few days of back & forth with MRIs & various other tests we were then taken to a room & told they’d found a mass on her brain. Gracie was then blue lighted to Queens medical centre in Nottingham for emergency shunt surgery. Gracie recovered well & 3 months later a follow up MRI was done to check the tumours behaviour. Unfortunately the tumour had started to grow over to the other side so shunt surgery was needed again on the other side of her head. The neuro oncologist has put a plan in place for 18 months of chemotherapy. The tumour is an Astrocytoma & is very common in young people.

I've known Gracie for most of her life along with her family. We thought we could raise money in a fun way. So Gracie will be cutting off my hair, and then clipping the rest off by the end of August. Hopefully it will raise awareness of brain tumours in children and also the fabulous work the little princess trust do. Please donate as much as you can xx
