Meet Karagh Cahill. She is 7-years-old and has beaten cancer.

When Karagh was a baby she had six months of treatment which included weekly hospital trips for bloods, alongside chemotherapy, blood transfusions and scans.
Luckily, after six months, she got the all-clear.
Karagh, from Co. Laois, is now a happy and healthy seven-year-old girl who loves dancing and school.
She also loves her long hair, and is well used to being complimented on it, with many often commenting that it's like "Rapunzel-hair".

But, Karagh has made a decision.

She has decided that she wants to cut her hair in order to donate it to other little girls that are sick like she was, so that it can be used as a wig.

With her hair being 14-inches-long, we know Karagh's kindness will go a long way.
Aoibheanns Pink Tie charity, which was set up by Jimmy Norman who lost his daughter to childhood cancer, aided Karagh's family in many ways over the last few years.
Therefore, this is the charity the little girl has decided to raise money for. As her Mum told us, "She wants them to have lots of money to help all the sick children be happy."
September 22nd is the big day and €1,900 has already been raised.
