Mikayla'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 getting the chop in October!

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

I GOT THE CHOP

Friday 15th Oct
I'm pleased to announce that on Wednesday 13th October I got the chop! Originally my appointment was scheduled for end of October but there was a last minute cancellation so my hairdresser was able to slot me in.

All in all there was around 35cm of hair which weighed in at 95 grams! Thanks to Natalie and others at Kelly Elle Salon for being so accomodating and making the experience special.

And a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came along on the journey! I feel very humbled by all the good people around me who supported this awesome Hair with Heart cause. 

GOAL ACHIEVED!

Tuesday 12th Oct
I’m so ecstatic to have reached my $2,000 goal yesterday. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues and generous strangers who have contributed to this cause. 

I have set a date for the chop on Saturday 30th October so I’ve still got a bit of time to raise some more! If you’re thinking of donating just know any contribution is appreciated especially since these wigs can cost up to $6,000! Thank you all for your kindness. Much love ❤️

Thanks for all the support

Congratulations Mikayla, I did the chop last year, raising funds for mental health amid COVID. It was so absolutely rewarding and I'm proud to say my daughter now wants to do the same :) Good on you!
