Saintly snip for Victoria Bundock
7:00am Saturday 23rd February 2013 in News
Victoria gets the makeover treatment from Tommy Makinson and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook.
WHEN Victoria Bundock decided to have her flowing locks sliced off for charity, there was only one person she would allow anywhere near the scissors - her favourite Saints player Tommy Makinson.
The caring 16-year-old from Sutton has held a long term ambition to do something positive for charity and decided to hand over her hair to make a wig for cancer patients.
Proud mum Lisa, 39, explained: “She’s wanted to do something for a while. She thought about doing the Race for Life and I suggested giving up her pocket money. She told me it wasn’t enough and she looked into donating her hair.
“Apparently it costs around £2,000. At least her hair will grow back other people are not so fortunate.”
Victoria, a pupil at Sutton Academy, has reached £300, but she is hopeful of seeing that total rise.
Lisa added: “We got in touch with Saints, hoping for the very least to have a picture with Tommy Makinson. They said they are doing quite a bit with Sports Relief and brought her down to the ground.
“She loved it. Not everyone can say they had Tommy Makinson cut their hair.”
