Story

Okay so most of you know that I have pretty long hair. I mean- there's a lot of it. Seriously. I'm constantly getting it stuck in doors, pushing it out of the way, always apologising for getting it in people's faces when I give them a hug and just the thought of washing my hair leaves me with aching arms.

I've never cut my hair short before because it's always been like a safety blanket to me. But when I found out that anyone can donate hair to charity, to children who need it more than I do, I decided it was something I wanted to do. I mean- it’ll grow back…eventually.

So this Easter I will be cutting off about 20 inches (or as much as I can give) of my hair and donate it to Wigs for Kids (http://www.wigsforkids.org/) to go towards making wigs for children in America who have lost their hair due to medical issues including chemotherapy, alopecia, and burns. And the money I raise is going to Cancer Research UK (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/) :)

Please donate! This is a really big deal for me and I want to raise the most I possibly can! And if you can't donate then please share this page :)
Thank you so much :D
