Popstar , Jessie J, recently shaved off her hair for the same charity.
The wigs have to be made from real hair as synthetic hair irritates the children’s sensitive scalps.
Michelle said: “I’m so proud of everyone who’s sponsored me so far.”
Michelle will cut her hair on June 22. To donate visit www.justgiving.com/Michelle-Caplin
