Saturday 3rd Oct
I am so overwhelmed and grateful to each and every one of you for your generous support and love. 😭 

Today was a hard day as I cried missing Mum but also crying because so many of you had written such beautiful messages of support. Friends from all parts of my life - all coming together to support me and I truly have no words because I’m so so thankful! 

Today, the big chop happened and I was able to donate 37cm of hair (4 plaits) to Wigs for Kids and with your support, we have over $2700 to donate to the Chris O’Brien centre. What a huge effort! Thank you once again xx 

My why…

Friday 25th Sep
As many of you know, my beautiful Mum left this earth a year ago when she lost her battle with a rare form of Ovarian Cancer. (My heart is still heavy and very much broken). My mum was the one who encouraged me to donate my hair to kids with cancer as she knew how it felt to lose all her hair from chemo. (And anyone who knows Mum knew that she loved children and always was thinking about how to help children any way she could!) 

It is bittersweet because I thought Mum would be here when I cut my hair to donate but it’s taken nearly two years for me to grow it out this long. The stress, heartbreak and all those emotions in between meant that my hair didn’t grow as fast as it usually would…. But the time has come and I’ll be cutting my hair short to donate on Saturday 3rd October! 

The boys in our family ran the Sydney half marathon this year and the proceeds went to Ovarian cancer…. So now I’m fundraising for the Chris O Brien centre! They are currently helping so many people (some of our nearest and dearest) and we are so grateful for everything they have done so far. 

So, I’m going to donate my hair to a charity that will make wigs for children with cancer AND fundraise - because helping two charities is always going to be a win! 

I would appreciate any amount you can donate - every little bit counts and I’m so grateful! 

Thank you so much xx
