Staithes youngster Ebony Beeforth has had her long hair cut for the Little Princess Trust in a show of solidarity for her three-year-old sister Blossom, who has been diagnosed with alopecia.

Ebony, 8, a pupil at Handale School in Loftus, wanted to donate her hair for her sister to have a wig in the future if required.

She has raised more than £1,000 for the trust.

Jasmyn Moore, owner of Vanity hair salon in Staithes, cut Ebony’s hair free of charge – and chucked in a little trim for Blossom too as she wanted a cut like her big sister’s.

The Little Princess Trust provides free, real-hair wigs for young cancer sufferers or for children and young people experiencing the devastating effects of hair loss.
