Our Personal Message:
SHE'S DONE IT!! Beatrix had her hair cut as planned on 26th March and it is being posted off to the Little Princess Trust. Thank you for the donations made to Mary's Meals: Beatrix is thrilled to know that her actions have helped so many children...
...and it's still not too late to donate!


-----------The background story: ------------------------------

Several years ago, someone we know donated her hair to The Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes wigs for children with cancer. Beatrix has always remembered this, and a few months ago Beatrix asked if she could have her hair cut off so that she could "give it to the charity that helps sick children who lose their hair" (her words). She says she's been waiting for as long as she can remember for her hair to be long enough to donate.

Beatrix also remembered how some family friends had raised money for Mary's Meals last year by appealing to people to sponsor them to cycle to Rome.

Beatrix thought what good sense it would be to combine these two charitable ideas: Beatrix is going to have her hair cut off on her 7th birthday (26th March 2011) and donate it to The Little Princess Trust so that a wig can be made for a child undergoing chemotherapy; and she's hoping that you'll sponsor her in this brave act to raise money for Mary's Meals.

Mary’s Meals provides daily meals to chronically hungry children in the Third World. They provide the meals in the children's local school. In this way the hungry child is encouraged to attend school and, through education, gain a better future for himself and his community.

Mary's Meals feeds over half a million children every school day - 503,901 to be precise - and they do this for less than £10 per child per year!

Beatrix is hoping to raise £1000!

Please Gift-Aid your donation if possible. CharityGiving will reclaim gift aid tax on your donation (if you are a UK taxpayer). It’s the most efficient way to donate - Beatrix raises more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and sponsor brave Beatrix now.

Beatrix is giving up her hair to help children less fortunate than herself -- what can you give up to help them?
