SMILING schoolgirl Violet Bettison plans to help other youngsters by sacrificing more than 12 inches of her hair in support of sick children.
The six-year-old Springvale Primary pupil will have her waist-length locks cut short next weekend and then donate the hair to Little Princesses - a charity which provides wigs for children who lose their hair during cancer treatment.
Proud mum Michaela, 40, said the selfless act was all Violet's idea.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
