Ava's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm taking the chop to change lives

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

Growing up, donating my hair has always been something very close to my heart!

I lost my Grandad to cancer when I was just a toddler. Almost every memory he & I shared, he had very little to no hair. As I've grown up, I often look at photographs of us together & have since learnt that during his long journey through chemotherapy treatment he lost all of his hair. 

It has been since then that I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone special who has lost their hair, due to a medical condition or treatment. I have been growing my hair to length for 7 years & its now finally time for me to give something back!

I'll be chopping off 35.5cm OR MORE of my hair in NOVEMBER!

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 me, help kids in need.
