Sam Edmunds, a teenage boy from London, decided to raise money for a very good cause by cutting his hair. He had spent three years growing it, so there was lots of hair to cut.
The last time he cut his hair in 2021, Sam raised £ 3,200 for a local food bank. "I always had the idea of doing it again," Sam told a news reporter.
This time, Sam tried to help Alzheimer's Society. Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病) usually affects older people and gets worse over time. Around one million people are living with it in the UK. Sam's decision was very important to him because his friend died of Alzheimer's disease in 2023, and some of his friends also lost their family members with Alzheimer's disease. In February 2024, when a famous football player from Sam's favourite team died of Alzheimer's disease, Sam was very sad. So he named his charity event "Bald for Bowles". "I want to do something to remember all these wonderful people who meant so much to me and their families," Sam said.
Sam raised over £ 4,000 online for Alzheimer's Society. But that was not all—his hair was also sent to the Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes wigs (假发) for children who have lost their hair because of health problems.
Will Sam grow his hair again? "Yes!" he said with a smile. "Growing hair takes time, but helping others is always worth it."
