Ruth and James first approached SNUG back in 2023 because Ruth wanted to raise money for SNUG by doing something truly huge –  chopping off her EPICLY long hair for sponsorship money for SNUG. James and Ruth were all ready to go, when someone suggested to them that perhaps Ruths hair was SO long that it would be a world record cutting it off and donating it to charity! This comment got them thinking and they decided to do some research and go for it!

 

 


Hello 👋
