Blake's Big Chop

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

Since the start of lockdown last year, I've been growing my hair. I've had people tease me, people accidentally call me a girl and had Mum brushing my hair... a lot! I don't want it to be a wasted experience so I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting & 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 36cm at the end of October.

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.
