Jessica donates Locks of Love for charities
A Killarney schoolgirl has made a generous contribution to two charities by donating her hair and raising funds for children and families in need.
Jessica Pierce, a Third Class pupil at Scoil Bhríde Loreto in Killarney, donated 33cm of her hair through the Locks of Love initiative in support of the LauraLynn Foundation.
Alongside the hair donation, Jessica also raised €755 for the charity through her fundraiser.
The Locks of Love campaign encourages people who donate their hair to raise funds at the same time, supporting two causes through one act of kindness. Donated hair is sent to organisations such as The Little Princess Trust or The Rapunzel Foundation, where it is used to create real-hair wigs for children and adults who have lost their hair due to illness.

The 245 children and staff in the Gaelscoil were beside themselves with delight as they welcomed Sam and a few of his well known friends to the school.
