Marika's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm donating my hair and I 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 35cm on the 3rd of November 2020. ✂

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. ❤

I'm looking forward to having a shorter hairstyle for a change! I'm excited to donate hair so a girl like me can have her own wig. Thank you for helping me with my fundraising 😊!

I've had a change of date for my big cut - I'll cut it all off (well, most of it!) on the 3rd of November.

Hey Marika, This is such an awesome thing to do. I am a teacher and I have known a couple of students with alopecia. It is tough to feel so very different and also very expensive to get a wig. One of my students was able to get a wig made and it was life changing for her. She grew in confidence and actually came to understand why God had made her the way she was. She ended up being a huge positive influence among her classmates. Your beautiful hair will be such a gift to someone. Well done you!!!
