Charles's Hair with Heart challenge

Hi I’m Charles Mareta, I'm doing the Hair with Heart challenge and I need your help!

I’ve made the decision to take on the Hair with Heart challenge and change lives!

Variety – The Children’s Charity supports kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability.

I will be fundraising to help raise vital funds for Australian kids in need, including kids who are experiencing permanent hair loss from medical conditions such as alopecia and cancer.

Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

Thank you for your support!

Help Charles Make a Difference!

Tuesday 25th Mar
Our son Charles has never had a haircut since birth, and his beautiful long hair now reaches past his hips. He has decided to make his first haircut a meaningful one by donating his hair to Hair with Heart, a charity that creates wigs for children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions.

Charles is a proud Cook Islander, and this haircutting ceremony is a cherished tradition in the Cook Islands, symbolising a significant rite of passage. Although we reside in Australia, we are excited to honor this tradition and make a positive impact.

We invite you to support Charles in this heartfelt Endeavor. Your contributions will help cover the costs of wig-making and bring smiles to kids in need.

Donate below and be a part of Charles' journey to make a difference.

Join us in celebrating this special moment and making a positive impact via live stream on Saturday, 17th of May 2025, at 5 PM.

Meitaki Maata for your generosity and support!
