TWO friends have made a courageous decision to chop off their long, luscious locks in an effort to raise $500 for Cystic Fibrosis WA.
Baldivis residents Tayla Cartledge (11) and Matilda Siddle (6) will donate the money to a cause close to both their hearts – they have friends who suffer from cystic fibrosis.
Both girls will also give away their hair to the Australia Alopecia Foundation.
