The English singer and songwriter, Jessie J had her head shaved for charity, and the Price Tag hitmaker inspired a cancer-sufferer.

The 26 year old Sophie Watford lives in London, has said farewell to her hair.  She was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, so she decided to donate her hair, to The Little Princess Trust Charity.  An institution that makes real hair into wigs.

What Sophie Watford did have raised an impressive £3,600, which she is now donating to the British Heart Foundation. Sophie's place of work that often raises funds from cake sales.

Watford was inspired to make the move done by Jessie J, when the singer donated her long locks to the Princess charity for Comic Relief.

Sophie Watford stated, "Jessie J showed that you don't need hair to look alright - and she looks beautiful." Watford also said, "My hair was also falling out anyway, so that's why I decided I'd have the head shave - as I wanted do something to raise some money for charity."

Sophie Watford was a former student at Rushden Community College. Through mutual friends, Sophie met her boyfriend when she was 14 years old, and since then, the young couple had been together.

However, Sophie is still not satisfied about the £3,000 that has been raised, and she said that she wants more.

Sophie Watford stated, "I want to make a good thing out of a bad situation," "When I found out I had cancer, it was shocking. It was the day before my best friend's wedding and I had to keep it all in all day, which was really upsetting." "But it was just one of those things and you have to keep going and keep trying." Sophie also said, "It was pretty scary! "But it was pretty funny as well, as we did loads of different styles with my hair while it was being shaved off."
