A HAYLE youngster who wanted hair as long as Rapunzel has had it cut off to help a child with cancer.
Seven-year-old Chloe Dowrick has raised more than £550 and donated her blond locks to the Little Princess Trust so that another child can have them made into a wig.
Her mother Kerie said: "She decided to have her hair cut because she heard about children having cancer and thought that way one of them could use her hair."
Chloe, who attends Bodriggy Academy, has never had her hair cut before and on a recent trip to Disneyland she decided she wanted to be like the fairytale character Rapunzel.
But her desire to help others was stronger and Chloe's aunt Jade Gilbert, who runs Studio 59 in Hayle, cut the hair.
It was then sent to the charity to be made into a wig for a child who has lost their own hair through cancer.
Kerie added: "I am just really proud of her because it was such a big thing for her to do."
