"Big Cut Report"

The Big Cut took place on Friday 7th April and was a huge success. We were thrilled by how many people turned up to support Elise and Annie and we are totally overwhelmed by everyone's amazing generosity. Before the event started, we had raised £1000 with donations from people who couldn't attend. On the night we raised £1233 and since then we have had further donations of £194, which brings our grand total to £2427 ! What a fantastic start to our fundraising and we can only reiterate our very sincere thanks to everyone who has supported us. You are all amazing!

A special thank you to everyone who helped with evening, to those who donated cakes, to Rachel and Laura Foster for the soft toys, to Ellie McNichol for the phenomenal "Wendy's Wish" cake and to Emma Smith for doing such a great job of cutting the girls' hair. Elise had 9" cut off, Annie had 11" cut off and they are both thrilled with their new look!
