When Ben Sarak decided he wanted to grow his hair out and give it to charity, his mum Natasha couldn’t have been prouder.
It took the 12-year-old, from Middleton, almost three years to get his locks waist-length – a challenge he set himself after seeing others donate to the Little Princess Trust in 2020.
But sadly, the youngster’s hair growth journey has attracted unwanted trouble from bullies over the years. Ben has suffered verbal and physical assaults for his hairstyle multiple times – even being brutally attacked by a stranger he didn’t know.
