Carshalton boy gives hair from first-ever trim to make wigs for kids with cancer

Lewis Wakenell-Stewart, an eight-year-old, had never had a proper haircut, with his hair growing down past his shoulders. He decided to cut his hair ahead of a school trip but turned it into an act of kindness by donating it to make a wig for someone in need, specifically supporting The Little Princess Trust. His family has long supported charity efforts, but this time, the fundraising idea originated directly from Lewis. On the day of the haircut, he was nervous yet felt a sense of pride knowing his hair was going to someone who needed it.
