Brave Alexa Cuts Off Her Treasured Locks for Children’s Charity

A five-year-old girl from Little Paxton has donated 15 inches of her hair and raised hundreds of pounds for a children’s charity.

Alexa Chappell, of Park Drive, approached her parents Kelly and Phil before Christmas and said she wanted to help “someone who doesn’t have hair because I have lots”.

“We have absolutely no idea how she knew about children with cancer but she wanted to help so we contacted the charity.”

Kelly and Phil took Alexa along to Molbys hair salon in St Neots on Saturday and she had her hair cut. They will now hand over £758.25 to the Princess Trust charity and will arrange to send Alexa’s hair, which will be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair through cancer or other treatment, to the charity.

Children with Cancer Ball

The 2015 Christmas party season started on Saturday 14th November with a spectacular evening of entertainment - and even more spectacular fundraising!

Later this week we'll have all the photos to show you, stories of extreme generosity and the grand total of how much was raised to help children with cancer.

A spectacular evening of entertainment

A champagne reception in the stunning Great Room of the Grosvenor House Hotel put everyone in the perfect mood for this lovely evening.

As ever, there was a spectacular night of entertainment. Our very funny host for the evening was comedian Al Murray. Fantastic tribute acts The Bootleg Beatles and Paul Metcalf as Rod Stewart performed and we danced into the small hours with DJ's The Nextmen and everyone's favourite danceband, Rollacoaster!

With a delicious three course dinner, exclusive auction items and contributions from a host of celebrity guests and stars of the stage and screen, this year’s event was as magical as ever!

Why your support is important

A complete hush fell over the Great Room as Claire Rumble told us about her son Louis' diagnosis of leukeamia and how it affected her whole family.

You can watch Claire and Louis' story below.
