Alfie's Hair with Heart challenge

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 ALL my hair before Christmas!

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

It’s done!!

Friday 27th Nov
So many lovely messages of support and super generous donations! We have made over $1200 and today went through with the Big Chop! 

Thank you to #colourmeinhairdressing for donating the cut for Alfie and for being a super star hairdresser. Alfie was very serious and very still and now loves his new look, especially the little lightning bolt! 

Thank you everyone for your support. Luckily my little hippy dude is still super handsome - although I potentially  will lose him in a crowd now. 

Target reached

Thursday 19th Nov
If you’ve been following this little shindig you have probably noticed that I upped the target a few times due to the incredibly generous donations we received so quickly! Thank you so much for that. 
Then we seemed to stop just below the target of $1000 until this week when an anonymous donor bumped us over our goal by donating $100! To whoever that anonymous donor was, thank you thank you thank you. 

Alfie is booked in for NEXT Friday for his big chop! Stay tuned my friends! 

Date is set

Friday 30th Oct
Alfie and I visited our hairdresser today. I wanted him to know what the place would look like so hopefully he feels okay to get his hair cut off. He met Deb, our hairdresser and in the midst of booking our date in, all he could think of was ‘I need to go to the toilet’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyway, the date is set: Friday 27th November. 
Day before my and dan’s anniversary.
I don’t want to cut Alfie’s hair, but he’s raised so  much money now, I’m committed. We have to do it. 

Increased our goal twice!!

Friday 23rd Oct
So excited and thankful for all the amazing donations! We had no idea we’d get this much support. It makes me feel so much better about cutting Alfie’s hair. If it were up to me, I’d keep it long. Doing this for others now has made me less sad about chopping his hair off. X thanks everyone! 

Thanks for all the support
