Louth youngster has 21-inches of her hair chopped off for good cause
The 11-year-old was well known by many for her very long hair, but made the ultimate selfless act and had the majority of it chopped off at Gaffettes Hair Salon in the Newmarket Hall, by hairdresser Rachel Taylor.
It was also the very first time she’s had such a big hair cut, after only having off the odd inch or two here and there.

“I like it, but it does feel really strange. I want to try and grow it all back long, so I can cut it off again and help someone else.”
Mum Kerry Foster revealed she is extremely proud of her daughter.
Tabitha added: “All of my friends were in shock and said Tabitha is that you? That’s my favourite reaction.”
