A big-hearted Scots schoolboy who defied bullies to grow his hair long and help cancer-stricken kids has had the chop after three years.Vandaad Fardi was just five when he decided to donate his locks to be made into a wig for a child who had lost their hair during treatment.He refused to give up on his mission despite cruel taunts that left him in tears.And now the determined eight-year-old, from Aberdeen, is almost unrecognisable after finally cutting his hair short.The youngster said he “couldn’t stop smiling” after achieving his goal for charity and was excited to show off his new look at school.Mum Golpar said: “He couldn’t sleep and got up at 4am because he was so excited.“He said ‘mum can you believe it?
