I'm chopping my hair and need your help!
I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.
I'll be chopping off 35.5cm of my hair on the 18th of October 2021.
Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth. By making a donation to Variety - the Children's Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need. Thank you for helping kids in need.
My Updates
Goal
Sunday 3rd Oct Thank you to everyone who has donated. I can’t believe I’ve reached my goal so soon, you’re all amazing. With 16 more days to go until my chop, I’ve decided to raise my goal a little to $2000, a little bit closer to the $6000 a family needs to buy a wig for their sick child.
A message from Austin
Thursday 9th Sep For two long years I have been growing my hair for this day. I’m very nervous about cutting it as it’s become part of who I am but I know that other people need it more than me.Thanks for all the support
