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 35.5cm and hope to do this in December 2023. 

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

December 15th - The Chop

Wednesday 6th Dec
On December 15th at approx. 10:30am I will be cutting off my hair and will get it on its way to Variety.

Thanks to everyone who has donated.  If you still want to while you can please donate. 

Long enough but still short

Sunday 22nd Oct
Hi Friends and well wishers,

My hair has grown long enough to be donated to Variety’s Hair with Heart to be turned into a wig.  
I aim to be cutting it off in the coming weeks.. but I am not done fundraising.  If you want to help out the cause now is your chance using the link in this post.

Thanks to everyone who has donated already.

1 Year of Growing

Sunday 5th Dec
The start of December 2021, is approximately 1 year since I had any length cut from my hair.  I still have a long way to go… it’s at the awkward stage where  I need to tie it up or back but can’t get enough hair in the hair tie, at home I wear a cap day and night.. at work I look ridiculous. 

Thanks for all the support
