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! ✨

I’ve been growing my hair for over 4 years, and now I’m donating it to help make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions such as alopecia and cancer.

Variety – the Children’s Charity supports kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage, or living with a disability. Through this fundraiser, I’ll be raising vital funds to give Australian children the help and support they deserve.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference. 💖

This is especially meaningful to me, as I take on this challenge in memory of my Nonna.

Thank you so much for your support. 🫶

My Updates

I am so touched

Thursday 11th Sep

🎉 I’ve officially SMASHED my goal thanks to the incredible support of friends and family – but I’m not stopping here!

Every extra dollar raised goes directly to Variety, helping kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with a disability. 💛

If you haven’t had the chance yet, it’s not too late – your donation can make a real difference in a child’s life. Together, let’s see how far we can take this!

Beyond Grateful

Monday 8th Sep
This journey has been years in the making, and now that I’m so close to the big chop, I wanted to share the real reason behind it.

I’ve been growing my hair for over four years, and soon I’ll be cutting it all off to donate. But this isn’t just about hair, it’s about honouring my beautiful nonna, who we lost to cancer. She was such a big part of my life, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Watching her fight so bravely, yet suffer so much, left a mark on my heart that will never fade.

So this chop is for her. It’s my way of keeping her memory alive while also giving back — helping children who are facing the challenges of hair loss from cancer, alopecia, and other medical conditions. Knowing that my hair, and the funds raised alongside it, could help bring even a little bit of comfort and confidence to someone else means the world to me.

I am so grateful to everyone who has donated so far — thanks to you, I’m almost halfway to my fundraising goal. Your kindness is not only helping kids in need but also helping me honour my nonna in the most meaningful way I can imagine.

If you’d like to support, please consider donating and being part of this journey with me. Every bit helps, and together, we can turn this big chop into something truly powerful.

Thanks for all the support
