Rachel's Big Chop

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm in Year 6.  I've been wanting to donate my hair for a long time and now that we're out of lockdown I will finally be able to.  I have been growing my hair for a long time and at the moment it is just past my waist. I love my long hair and I'm lucky I have never had any trouble growing it so now I'd like to give my hair to someone who can't grow theirs or someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.  I hope my hair being made into a wig can make people feel more confident and happy.  I also hope I can raise lots of money to support Variety and the awesome work they do for kids in need.  Please support me for my biggest haircut yet!  Any donation, big or small will be greatly appreciated by more than just me.

I'll be chopping off 36cm on Friday 5th Nov.

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.
