Gosport girl has hair cut for good causes

Shyloe Wilson had her hair cut to raise money for Diabetes UK and the Little Princess Trust

SAYING goodbye to her long, lovely locks was something Shyloe Wilson was happy to do.

The brave eight-year-old had 15 inches of her hair cut off to raise money for a cause close to her heart.

Shyloe, from Gosport, has diabetes and wanted to raise money for JDRF – a charity researching to find a cure for the condition.

She is also raising cash for the Little Princess Trust which makes wigs for children suffering from cancer.

Her mum Victoria said: ‘I am so proud of my little princess. So far she has raised £550 for the two causes.

‘Shyloe was really excited to have a new hairstyle after growing it her whole life.’

Shyloe had her hair cut yesterday and wanted to get it done before her dad goes on a seven-month deployment with the Royal Navy. She also wanted to start the school term with her new look.

She said: ‘I put up with my diabetes and deal with it as it’s the only thing I can do. But to find a cure for my life-long condition would be amazing.’
