Becky, of St Ives, Cambs, said: “He was getting a bit annoyed with his hair anyway, it was getting in the way.
"I think Eli saw the hospital's amazing care and that's why he was inspired to raise the money."
The lad is donating 16 inches of curls to the Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs to youngsters with cancer.
Eli started with just a ￡100 target on fundraising website, justgiving.com.
The hair was cut on Wednesday by his auntie Collette McGee, who is a professional stylist based in London.
