A ten-year-old boy from Croxley has raised more than £4,000 for charity Crohn’s in Childhood Research Association.
Eddie has been growing his hair for two years and cut it off on January 25 to raise awareness and vital funds.
Friends and family came along to support Eddie during the big chop at CJ Barbers in Croxley Green.
Eddie was diagnosed with the bowel condition Crohn’s disease when he was eight years old and says he has met “wonderful” doctors and nurses who have taken care of him.
He said: “It’s been quite a rollercoaster, let’s put it that way, and it’s been very difficult for me mentally and physically.”
At the time of writing, he had raised £3,950 to help find a cure for the chronic disease.
He will be donating his hair to The Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides free wigs to children who have lost their hair due to treatment for cancer or other conditions.
Eddie’s mum Anna thanked Clare at CJ Barbers for all of her support throughout the last two years.
