Sorcha's Big Chop

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

I made the decision a few years ago 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.  Unfortunately, due to covid restrictions, my big chop has been delayed for a couple of years!

I'll be chopping off around 40cms of my hair at school assembly on Monday 9 May 2022.

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

Big Chop Done!

Monday 9th May
I had an amazing time at school assembly having my big chop. All the other students were clapping and Michelle who cut my hair did a great job.
At the time of cutting my fundraiser had reached $4082! I still can’t believe I was able to raise so much money.
The hair has now been posted off to Hair with Heart and I hope it makes someone a lovely wig that will make them happy.
Lots of Love
Sorcha

Last night of long hair!

Sunday 8th May
It’s the night before the big chop and I’m so excited! I’m also excited that the donations to my fundraiser have reached over $3700! It’s just amazing. I will update tomorrow with photos from the big chop and the final total of the fundraising. 
Lots of Love

So many donations!

Friday 29th Apr
Hello everyone, it’s just over 24 hours since I set up my fundraising page and I can’t believe that with all your kind hearted donations I’ve passed $2000. I never expected this! I am so grateful that your donations will help those in need of a wig. I will update again closer to the time of the big chop.
Love Sorcha
