I really love my long hair, but I want to share it with someone who needs it more so they're happy again
A seven-year-old Blackpool girl is ready to lose her luscious locks for charity.
Mila Czarnecka is to donate her hair to the Little Princess Trust to help make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. Her haircut is booked for May 2, and her mum Iwona says she’s very excited - and a little nervous - but determined to do her bit to make a difference for other children.

“It costs about £700 to turn donated hair into a wig, so she is keen to raise some money for the charity as well,” said Iwona. “Every little bit helps and will mean so much to Mila and the children who benefit from this charity if people could support her effort by donating.”
Mila, who lives in Bispham and is a pupil at Kincraig Primary School, said: “I really love my long hair, but I want to share it with someone who needs it more. I hope it will make another child smile and feel happy again. “
The Little Princess Trust, founded in 2005, provides free real hair wigs to children and young people up to the age of 24, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions. The charity also funds childhood cancer research into finding kinder and more effective treatments.
