Madalyn's Big Chop

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

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 40cm on Saturday 25th September, 2021.

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.

My Updates

Madalyn the Princess

Thursday 12th Aug
Mad alarm was Sleeping Beauty for her Book Parade.

Before the chop

Sunday 8th Aug
Madalyn has been growing her hair for the past 2 years with the goal of donating her beautiful locks to “Hair with Heart” (a Variety Australia initiative) to help make wigs for children who have lost their hair for a number of reasons. Madalyn’ a hair is now 60cm long, so the time has come for the big chop.  We are hoping to raise $2000 to say thanks to Variety for their support they’ve given us and so many other families. Every little bit helps. All donations are tax deductible. Please share with friends and family. We’ll keep you updated with photos along the way, and of course video of the big chop - I can’t guarantee that Madalyn won’t cry as she does not like having her hair brushed lol.

Thanks for all the support

Go Maddy! I had heard on the grapevine a while back that you were growing your hair for a cause. I did the reverse and did Shave for a Cure, but you will no doubt get a stylish cut and your beautiful hair will adorn another child or two. Well done! From Nicki
