Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

When I started growing my hair, I'll admit that it was partly because I missed an appointment, I toyed with the idea of growing my hair long again.  I'd seen a few people around that time donate their hair and realised that I can do something useful.

By growing my hair, I could enjoy having long hair again but with a very specific cause and purpose in mind. I intend to have the big chop in April as I'd like to grow another inch or so to maximise the amount of hair that can be used. The hair that I donate will be used to make wigs for children suffering from cancer but the charity which is based very locally to me also needs to raise funds to pay for the cost of a wig. This is why I have such an ambitious target. They need at least £300 to pay for each wig to be made!

So please, if you feel able to, donate so that not only some of my hair can help improve a child's wellbeing but that we can support the charity financially at the same time.
