Cathrine's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

When my Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed to have Chemo she lost all her hair and I wanted to do something to help others who loose their hair as well.   I have been growing my hair for the past year and it is so close to being the right length!   Therefore 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 today if we find it is long enough, otherwise it will be the next cut!

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.
