A Newtownabbey woman is preparing to brave the shave this weekend by cutting off her beautiful long locks in support of the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice.
Kind-hearted Louise Crawford was inspired to take on the challenge after watching loved ones face a battle with cancer.
Mum-of-four Louise, 37, sadly lost her father, Andrew (Andy) to cancer just over five years ago at just 52 and she is also mourning the recent passing of a close friend to the same disease.
