Maisie's Big Chop

I'm shaving all my hair off 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 36cmΒ in May

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

Hair today……Gone Tomorrow!

Friday 29th Apr
Maisie has made the decision that tomorrow Saturday 30th April she is shaving her head!Β 
She isn’t cutting it short, it is ALL coming off!Β 

Nerves are kicking in this morning as a mum. Such a BIG thing for a teenager girl to do.Β 

We will live stream the event tomorrow around 4pm & will continue to update here. Live stream can be seen here:Β https://www.facebook.com/sarah.bennett.7549185

Again THANK YOU SO much to everyone who has donated and is sending Maisie many messages of support, it truely means more than words can express.Β 

Donations will stay open for another 3-4 weeks.Β 

Some people may wonder why….

Tuesday 12th Apr
Three years ago I lost my Gan Gan to cancer.Β 
Two years ago I decided I wanted to shave my head but covid got in the way of that!Β 
So now two years on I’ve decided that I am doing this no matter what!
I am donating my hair so that while someone is going through one of the toughest things in their life they can still feel confident & have dignity.Β 
I also want people to realise that it doesn’t matter how you look, you are still the same person on the inside especially as a teenager.Β 
I am so excited to shave my head and make someone feel special πŸ’•

Thanks for all the support

You are courageous and brave Maisie!! Can’t wait to see you sporting the new ‘do! Having our sister-in-law going through the battle of breast cancer (still!), this is close to our hearts. She really benefited from a charity loaning her a real hair wig, it gave her a bit of dignity when she lost her hair. Thanks for making a difference! Xxx
