Shelley's Big Chop

I'm Shaving My Head To Help Kids in Need!

Hi, my name is Shelley and a month ago I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 

I will soon lose my hair from undergoing chemotherapy treatment, so I have made the decision to donate mine to children who require wigs due to medical conditions.

Please support me in making a difference in a young person's life! 

Wigs cost families up to $6,000 and only last for 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars 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 someone in need. 

(P.S. I think a child would look like a rockstar with my hair as a wig, so let's make it happen!) 

Thank you for helping turn a personal journey of mine into something that can help others. 

You Rock! 

Love Shelley xoxo

My Updates

THANK YOU!

Thursday 5th May
Thank you SO much to everyone who has shared this page and donated to the fundraiser. 

We raised $10,000 in just over 3 days! (Talk about amazing!) 

I shaved my head on the weekend to ensure I could give the best quality donation before my hair started to fall out. I will leave this page active for the time being as there are still donations coming in, which is fantastic. 

I am blown away by your kindness, and I am so grateful that we can improve the life of a child in need together. 

Thank you team!
Love Shelley xo

THE BIG SHAVE!

Friday 29th Apr
Hi Everyone, 

Firstly, I just want to say a massive THANK YOU for visiting my fundraising page! 

I hope that together we can create a little happiness and improve the life of a child in need. 

I will be doing the shave this weekend to ensure the best possible hair donation quality, but I will keep this page active for the coming weeks. 

Thank you again for being here. 

Rock On!  
Love Shelley xoxo

Thanks for all the support
