The 12 year old has been bullied at school, and been mistaken for a girl by strangers and even his teachers, but has now decided to cut his hair to help kids with cancer.
His blond locks will be cut into small ponytails and sent to the Little Princess Trust charity to be made into wigs for children suffering from cancer.
He said: 'For someone who is going through cancer, and they really want some hair, it would be a waste if it was just going in the bit because it's long enough to be donated and made into wigs.
'The idea came from my Mum who wears a wig for her alopecia, I've seen her how she needs her wigs.'
He also told MFR News he's been bullied in school in the past because of his hair:
'I've been misgendered 23 times that I know of, by teachers at school, at cadets, and random strangers.
'I get a fair bit of bullying, I get called Maggie, people say I'm gay because I have long hair, and keep asking if I'm bi-sexual or trans.'
Magnus has also raised more than £300 pounds for CLIC Sargent.
