A video posted online of a young 6 year old girl cutting her mother's hair to help her understand the trauma of breast cancer treatment has attracted thousands of viewers.

The video was made by Lola's dad who states in his blog:-

Please help. This was meant to be just our family video keep-sake, but it had such an impact on our family and friends we were encouraged to upload it to YouTube.

Sara’s breast cancer and chemotherapy, along with this video, have had a profound affect on our family and friends and we wish to reach out to you and strike a chord. This very personal and special moment has been shared on YouTube with our hope of raising as much money as possible for cancer charities.

Please share this video with as many people as you can and ask them to do the same and share it with as many of their friends and contacts as possible. You can do this on facebook, twitter, email, or just by good old word of mouth. Whatever you can do to help will help us smash our target and have a positive impact on those affected by cancer.

Ten cancer charities have been selected by the family and I found this such a brave and moving clip that I had to show my support by making a donation. Cancer affects one in three of us in some way, so I do hope that the family find the strength to cope and are able to hit their fund raising target which could benefit so many. I am sure that if anyone else feels charitable that your support would be most welcome
