AN 11-year-old Clare girl will cut off her Rapunzel-like locks later this week, as part of her bid to raise money for charity.
Zoe O’Donoghue, who is a fifth class student at Broadford National School, has been growing her hair for more than five years and her flowing locks now reach all the way to her ankle. Zoe’s hair will go under the knife this Friday – with the hair itself going to make wigs for people who have lost their own hair through illness, and sponsorship money going to Milford hospice.
Her hair is currently well over 30 inches long and it is hoped that a number of ill people will receive human-hair wigs from Zoe’s donation.
