‘Inspirational’ boy, 7, makes pledge in honour of tragic five-year-old cousin

A seven-year-old boy in Trafford is cutting off his 47cm-long hair as part of a mission to raise money for two charities close to his heart and in memory of his late cousin.

Young Woody Challinor, from Urmston, has pledged to chop his hair off and donate it to the The Little Princess Trust Charity, an organisation that donates real hair wigs to children who have lost their own hair through cancer.

He will also be raising money for Kidscan, a children’s cancer research charity, which his cousin, Gracie McCall, was an ambassador for before her death at the age of five in 2017.
