I have a phobia of getting my hair cut. As of the time of typing, my hair is past my waist, a veritable riotous mane. As of the time that I'll first be directing people to this page, however, it'll be a pixie cut.

Also as of the time of typing, I'm hyperventilating just a little bit.

I'm donating my hair to the Little Princess Trust so it can be made into free wigs for children who have lost their hair, but I wanted to support St. Catherine's as well in memory of Catherine White. Catherine was a friend of my mother's who suffered from breast cancer, which later spread. The hospice is an amazing organisation which cared for her throughout her illness and also for her family, even after her death.

This also means that if you want to get involved but don't have the hair to donate, you can still do some good!
