Emily's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

I have made the decision to make a small difference by cutting and donating my hair to charity. It will be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair due to a medical condition. Your help will be appreciated no matter how big or small the donation may be.

I'll be chopping off roughly 36cm of hair around May this year. So please get involved! 

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.

Hey everyone! 

I just wanted to come on here and say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Not only are your donations going to support a great cause but they are also making it easier for me to part with my hair. It doesn’t seem like much to most people but for me it has been 7 years of growth and for the child that may get my hair, it’s massive. 

So please donate what you can and help me support this amazing charity! 

Thanks for all the support
