A STUDENT is set to shave off all her hair to raise money for a charity which supports teenagers with cancer.

Kirsty Jones, who is her final year at the University of Nottingham, will shave her long locks on Friday to raise as much money as possible for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

She said: "After a close friend was diagnosed with lymphoma at the age of 20, she was given plenty of support by the Teenage Cancer Trust .

"When you are a teenager or a young adult, your body image and appearance are of huge importance, it is normal to feel self-conscious or different.

"Being diagnosed with cancer obviously brings up so many worries, the changes that cancer – and the treatment of it – do to your body.

"That is one of the reasons why I am choosing to shave my hair off. I hope that seeing another young woman with no hair might make that side of it a little easier.

"Another reason I am shaving my hair off to raise money is so that I can donate my hair to be used in real hair wigs, like the one my friend is getting.

"I am going to send the hair I cut off to the Little Princess Trust as a hair donation."
