Cidney's Hairy Tale Adventure!

Once upon a time in a Towne called Terwilliger, there lived a brave little princess named Cidney.  Cidney was a cheerful happy girl with long golden locks of hair and a sparkly crown.  She was unlike most little princess as she was very grateful for all the things she had in her life and wanted to help others less fortunate than herself.  Cidney was particularly sad about children who were sick, especially with cancer.  It just so happens that Cidney had never cut her hair, not even once since she was born.  She had heard that sometimes people who suffer with cancer go bald during their treatments and needed to wear a wig.  One day she asked her mother and father, Queen Christina and King Ken if she could donate some of her long hair to make a wig for them.  They were very proud of their daughter and immediately went about to find out how they could do this. 

 On a beautiful spring day Cidney called her royal hairdresser and had her cut her hair in front of all her subjects to set a fine example of giving. 

Cidney did not flinch, even once as the royal hairdresser braided her hair and set about to cut it off. 

In, fact she had the biggest smile of all when she saw the gorgeous braid she was to donate. 

All her royal subjects cheered and clapped to show their approval and love for their princess. 

Even some local scribes came to record the event in the Kingdom's Big Book of History.  Not only did Cidney give away her hair, but she found her loyal subjects so moved by her generosity that they donated over 800 gold pieces to help the healers to find a cure.

The moral of the story is; Save lives by giving to cancer research.

( This is based on a true story of a student at Ecole Monsignor William Irwin who raised money for the Stollery Children's Hospital by cutting her hair and donating it to make a wig.  She is five years old and made over $800.00 in donations to the Hospital)
