I'm chopping my hair and need your help!
I’m Joel and I’m 13 years old. I’ve been growing my hair for about 4 years and now 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 cutting off all my hair on the 24th March!
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.

I just love what you are doing here Joel. My brother had a brain tumour when he was 6 and had to have a wig made, so this cause is very close to my heart. It is so wonderful that you want to help other kids. :)
