“I believe no one deserves to be unhappy, no matter if they’re sick or not,” she said.
The Zig Zag Public School Year 6 student has decided to undergo the big chop and raise funds for Variety the Children’s Charity, as well as donating 36cm of her hair.

She said she became aware that lost their hair due to illness at a young age and has been growing it for the last 12 months in a determined effort to donate.
Lithgow City Cr Maree Statham will be doing the hair-cutting honours at Zig Zag Public School on September 21.
Charlotte and her family have been asking local businesses for donations or vouchers to go towards a raffle she will be holding at the Foundations Market in Portland on September 9.
You can donate to her fundraising appeal online.
