Lexi, NSW
Lexi was inspired by her friend April that battled cancer a few years ago, and how she had wigs donated to her. Remembering her friend, Lexi jumped at the chance to help other kids in their battle. Although she was nervious about cutting her hair, she knew what other kids were going through with cancer was alot harder.

Bree, QLD
In August 2020 my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. The last 6 months have been an emotional roller coaster watching her go through a major surgery, chemotherapy and now totally rocking her bald head and I’m so incredibly proud of her. My sister and I both have young families (3 children each) and we cannot even begin to imagine the pain and suffering the children and families go through when a child is diagnosed with cancer.
Violet, NSW
She is 6 and decided to cut her hair to send it in to make wigs.
Willow, NSW
I spent a lot of time in hospital when I had a bone infection and met lots of fantastic kids who had lost their hair. Once I was better I was inspired to donate my hair so that if they wanted a wig they could have one, so I grew my hair for a long time. I’m so happy to donate my hair, and hope it makes someone happy.
Valencia, NSW
We pray for the healing of all the sick children and hope that my fundraiser can make a difference to the sick kids and their families.

My name is Olivia and I’m 7yrs old. When I found out that some children have cancer and lose or can’t grow their own hair, I decided to donate my hair to help make wigs for kids in need. I’ve been growing my hair for two years and Im super excited and happy to donate it. I had 25cm cut off and love my new style. I also raised $1340.

Mathilde, NSW
It wasn't initially my plan to donate my hair, all I knew was that it was time for a hair cut. However, after doing some thinking, I realised, I didn't want my hair to go to waste and it wouldn't take much to help make a kid's day. It was definitely worth it and I know I'll be doing it again!
Cheryl, NSW

I decided to donate some hair as Cancer has affected several members of my family and I hope that the wig made from my hair will make a child with cancer feel better about themself.
Astrid, NSW
I sent my hair last Thursday and I just loved the whole experience.
Lily, NSW
I just thought that if it was me in that situation, I'd want access to a wig in my natural hair colour, and I am well aware that red hair is rare in the first place, let alone natural and unchanged red hair, so I just thought that I would donate my hair, in the same way I'd want someone to do for me if I was suffering from cancer.
Amber & Helen Goodstart QLD
I had been thinking I had more hair than I needed and this sparked the idea that if I grew it as long as I could we could donate my hair to kids in need. When I found your website I knew this was the path we would take as it seemed more personal, less commercialised and like our goal to donate our hair to children would actually come into fruition.
Sidney, NSW
Was thrilled her hair was finally long enough and is starting the growing process anew!
Monique, VIC
I am 23 years old and donated a large length of hair just over a year ago and set to growing my hair again to donate again to help a young child feel beautiful again ? it is the least I can do to by doing my part every few years and I endeavour to continue doing this for years to come ??

Maria
This is the second time I donated my hair, the previous one was in Argentina, the country where I came from back in Dec 2018. Since then I kept my hair growing to be able to donate 35 cm. This hair has the strength of a pregnancy and it's full of joyful moments with my baby girl. I just feel this is a way to be grateful, I hope this makes a kid to feel stronger, happier and full of the love from us and the supporters.

Daniella, NSW
To me, if you have the minimum length of hair to donate, go for it! It is such a small act but means absolutely everything for a young child with cancer. I started growing my hair out in 2019 and had 40cm of hair cut off in October 2021. By donating my hair, I want a child to feel extra special and bring some more happiness to their life

Emma, Vic
Emma's mum wrote... It was a great thing that she was so onboard when I mentioned it to her a few months ago if she would like to donate her hair. As she is doing calisthenics and had to keep her long hair for the competition, as soon as that was over for this year, we cut the hair the following day. Then they had their Christmas party with the club few days after and it was a great conversation starter and I think it might encourage other girls to do the same.
Super proud of her!
Also, I would like to say thank you to the organisation for your amazing work!
Amelia, Vic

Michelle, NSW
I have had long hair since I was 8 years old and thinking about the children who have been through or are going through battles of cancer and illness and lost their hair truly breaks my heart.
I lost my beautiful mum to cancer 5 years ago now, when she was going through her treatment and lost all her hair I desperately wanted to do the same to support her, however I never had the courage.
To this day I never stopped thinking about cutting my hair so finally I made the decision. Knowing that I was courageous and had the strength my mum gave me all along.
I hope my hair donation can be made into a beautiful wig for a gorgeous little person to enjoy.
Kirra-Lee, NSW
Wanted to get her hair cut off to support kids with cancer that have lost their hair and when I told her she could actually donate her hair to make wigs for those kids she was even more excited so we looked into it and she had to donate minimum 20cm and ended up donating 25cm.
Fraser, VIC

I decided to donate my hair to Wigs 4 Kids because my friends had donated their hair and I thought it was a really good cause to support. I wanted to get my hair cut anyway, so it was awesome that instead of just being thrown away, my hair was able to impact a kid's life during a really challenging time for them.

Ebony, NSW
Over the years Ebony & her mum have spent a lot of time at Sydney Childrens Hospital in Randwick, and were always amazed at the strength and resilience of the kids going through chemo because of their various types of cancer.
So, we have made the decision to cut Ebony's beautiful long hair and donate it.
Sienna
As a 10 week old baby, Sienna had life-saving open heart surgery and saw what the charity Heartkids did to help her family through such a difficult time. She has also supported Heartkids along with Cancer Council through organising several charity events with a friend at her primary school. She was also the ambassador for the Two kids and a Heartbeat charity walk in the Illawarra a few years ago.
When Sienna decided she wanted to cut her hair short, it wasn't hard for her to choose to donate her hair to Wigs for Kids, and to hopefully help a child with cancer feel that little bit better by having a wig made from her hair. It may only be a small gesture but it comes from a special place in her heart.
Leila, WA
Leila is 7 years old and has been wanting to cut her hair short for quite some time. I wanted to donate her hair to make wigs for kids going through cancer after friends of ours had been through this with their daughter.
Cary

Alexia, WA
“When Alexia found out children could get really sick and result in them losing their hair from treatment or illness, she learnt that her hair could be donated to be made into wigs for them. She really wanted to help them in any way she could, so she cut her hair, donated it and fundraised along the way.”
River
I had never cut my hair (except for tiny trims) since I was a baby. As I got older, it got more difficult to look after. At last I decided to cut it. I had heard about donating hair for wigs for children with cancer and I thought that was something wonderful I could do with my hair, so I did! And now I love my new shorter hair.

Mia, NSW
knowing that other kids who are already struggling with cancer sometimes lose their hair, Mia felt that it wasn't fair for them and she wanted to donate her hair because it will always grow back. She is very excited with her new hairstyle and hopes that by donating her hair she can bring a smile to someone elses face.
Carly
I have been growing it for over 7 years, always with the plan to donate it one day. I put it off for a long time, because I'd grown attached to it, but once I actually looked into how to donate to the Kids With Cancer Foundation, I realised someone else needed my hair much more than I did.
Ayla, NSW
Ayla decided to donate her hair for wigs 4 kids after a friend of her Mum's was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and the treatment made her hair fall out. Ayla realised there were kids that were loosing their hair and decided to donate her locks to help them feel a little bit better about everything. Her surf club got completely behind her campaign as they were very tired of asking Ayla to tie her hair up for her training in the ocean ?
Poppy, NSW
Poppy decided in march last year she wanted to grow her hair to donate it to help make a wig for another child. She decided this as every 3 or so months she has to go to he Children's Hospital at Randwick because of her back. She has been in a back brace since she was 7yrs old and gets to chat to many other kids at the hospital.

“18 months ago I learnt it was possible to donate my long locks to create wigs for people with cancer. I, like many of you, have lost loved ones to cancer. So I instantly decided this was something I had to do! I believe that no one's life deserves to be cut short by cancer, especially not children. Therefore, I cut my long locks, raised money and spread awareness for the incredible Kids With Cancer Foundation.”

I saw this video one day, and it explained what happens when people get cancer. That’s when I found out people lose their hair as well. When I realised this, I wanted to help someone who had lost their hair by donating mine.
Olivia, TAS
Donating my hair has always been something I’ve wanted to do, and I feel very sorry for kids who don’t have hair due to having cancer treatment. So, I decided to chop it off and make a child’s dream come true. I guarantee my hair will go to someone very well deserving!

Emily, NSW
I chose to participate because I've always wanted to donate my hair when it was long enough so a young child doesn't have to feel embarrassed or self-conscious while fighting such a harsh battle. I wish to make them comfortable and feel as normal as possible. So at the end of March when I was diagnosed with a brain tumour I knew it was the time to give a child the long healthy hair I spent forever growing before I destroyed it with my own treatment.

When I was in primary school one of my close friends was diagnosed with cancer and had to shave her head. She was away from primary school for 3 years. She didn’t have the chance to have a wig and I would love for someone like her to have one now. She was a bit self-conscious. She is now in high school, with long hair and doing well. I admired her and wanted to do something for someone else and these very brave people. My friend’s mum was also recently diagnosed with cancer and lost her hair, she has been in severe isolation from the start of high school. To whoever gets my hair I love you and you are beautiful and it may not matter but I am proud of you.

I am only 17 but throughout my life I have had many of my loved ones who have gone through cancer and lost their hair. It is heartbreaking and being able to provide maybe a little bit of joy in their time of need is something I hope to be able to do by donating my hair.
Rani WA,
I'm donating my hair for a wig as I don't want kids to feel sad and left out because they don't have hair. It doesn't matter what you look like because it's on the inside that really matters but I'm hoping my hair will help make a difference to a kids life.
Willow, NSW
I hope my hair can make another child happy
Saanvi
I found out from Facebook about donating hair for kids with medical conditions. I waited patently until my hair grew to a good length to donate. I am so pleased that my hair will be used to make wigs for these amazing kids. I can't wait for my hair to grow to do this again.

Kai-Leigh,
Growing up, I experienced cancer by losing both my grandmothers and great-grandmother and watching my godfather, uncle, cousin, and multiple family friends suffer from this wretched disease. Along with the ongoing threat of both my parents, as well as my brother and I developing cancer.
At only 15 years old I decided I wanted to shave my head but continually put it off for about 2 years due to my year 11 and 12 formals. During that time we joined a non for profit motorcycle club named the CRABs which stands for Cancer Research Advocate Bikers, who ride their bikes, run raffles and other fundraisers and turn all of their profits over to the Royal Adelaide Hospital Cancer Research Fund annually.
A week into my final year of school, and a few days before my 17th birthday I decided, "you know what, other people don't get a choice when they lose their hair so why wait?" And just like that I started a GoFundMe, asking my parents, friends and my school to help share it around and just like that I started receiving donations. It started slowly only reaching around $200 after two weeks out of my goal of $1000. My family and I kept sharing it and telling people about it and in the end, were able to donate $1700 before shaving my head. On that, my school is yet to donate in the coming weeks and hopefully help me to achieve a grand total of $2000.
Aimee-Lee, NSW
My Advice to others: Just cut it! Your hair will grow back, but in the meantime, you're potentionally making a sick child smile and boosting their confidence. All Kids deserve that!
Rachel, NSW
Iv'e always wanted to grow my hair to donate to a child that is battling cancer. Just being able to contribute to giving a child a reason to smile and feel confident absolutely warms my heart.
Ava, NSW
At the age of 6 Ava saw a story online where a sick child was being bullied at school for not having any hair. It made her very sad and felt so bad for them. I explained wigs are very expensive and that people can donate their hair to make wigs for kids with cancer. She decided then to grow her hair and donate it to help sick kids have nice wigs so they wouldn't feel sad or get bullied at school for looking different. She grew her hair for 2 years, and now loves her new hair.
Elleanor, NSW

Fraser, WA
Fraser's mum commented "From a very young age Fraser had the most beautiful hair, people would often comment on it. we decided that when we did cut it off it should go to someone else who would love it as much as we did. We decided that Fraser would get his new smart haircut for the start of kindy. He is very proud of himself and hopes it will make a difference to another kid. We were also blown away with his fundraiser, he smashed it and we are so grateful to our friends and families donations, helping to make life just a little easier for another family going through a really tough time. "
Cooper, SA
Cut his long hair to help sick kids!
Puspa,
11 years ago I inspired by a friend of mine who shaved her head (while heavily pregnant) to raising money for charity. Since then doing something brave like that become one of my bucketlist.
I am blessed with three beautiful and healthy kids and often my heart breaks when I hear/read/see kids with cancer or other medical conditions. Even more heart breaking when the family breaks apart because of financial difficulties, relationship hardship or other challenges.
I also want to teach my kids to be grateful for their health, to be kind to others who are less fortunate than them, to be confident not depend on their looks and see the life is so much more than themselves.
Melissa, WA
I wanted to find a different way of where I could help make a difference in the lives of children diagnosed with leukaemia. I was approached by a fellow work colleague asking me to donate my hair as his daughter has donated twice now but to a different cause. I googled all the different links but the one website that hit home more was kids with cancer foundation. I lost my mum to Acute Lymphocytic leukaemia at a young age of 34 when I was aged 5 So I thought what more a better way to give back to such a great cause than this.
Claire
I was inspired to cut my hair because “My auntie went through breast cancer and had wigs when I was a little girl - I was always inspired by her! Being mother to a little boy, I want to show him the gift of giving!”
Sharni, NSW

Lenna, NSW
Throughout my life I have been a regular hospital patient and I wanted a way to give back, so I decided to donate my hair and fundraise with wigs for kids. I wanted to help bring back a child’s confidence and give them a reason to smile.

Olivia, NSW
My name is Olivia I'm 16 and I chopped off my ponytail. Personally, I have not been affected by cancer but I know that it doesn't hurt to be kind. Doing a simple act such as cutting your hair and donating it can give someone happiness in a time that can be a great struggle for them. If more people start participating in acting kind we will have more smiles spreading across the world. Kindness is at the cost of nothing.

I first saw people suffer ages ago, and I hated seeing people suffer because of them not having any hair. I wanted people who couldn’t grow their hair to feel pretty in the inside and out, so I waited around 2 years to be able to take such action. I would like to continue helping in any way possible and make such differences! ??
Emmerson, VIC
Emmerson decided to donate her hair because she is constantly told that she has beautiful hair and wanted to share it with someone who is going through a hard time. This is one small way she can help. She hopes she can brighten the day of another red haired girl who might not have been able to find a red haired wig.

Quinn VIC,
I became extremely ill at the end of 2019. Luckily, I recovered well within only a couple of weeks. During my stay in the ICU at the Children's Hospital I saw many sick children, one beautiful little girl in particular stood out to me because she had no hair, then I began to notice more and more kids who didn't have hair. I asked mum lots of questions, she explained as best she could and I decided I wanted to help.

Thankyou for making a way for people to be able to bless children in need. We are so grateful for organisations like this making a positive difference where it is needed so much.

Izabel, NSW
“Lately was thinking how I could help people in need, but I work a lot and couldn't find the time to do it, or have enough money to donate.
One day I came across with this video on instagram, this little girl getting her wig and that made me very happy and emotional. I got inspired and decided to donate my hair.
I lost my gramma for cancer and I could do anything to help people going through this especially kids.
Donating my hair felt very special and made me very happy ? “

Lila, Indigo & Zara, NSW
Beautiful Sisters :)
Lila decided almost 2 years ago that she wanted to do something to help kids with cancer after seeing something on TV and decided she would grow her hair long so it could be made into wigs for kids with cancer. Her little sisters love doing the same things she does so it didn’t take any convincing for them to want to grow their hair to help too!
Konnor
We hope you love his hair just as much as we all did.
With Love, Konnor & Family xoxoxox
Georgia, QLD
I have had long hair for many years, but after my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and recently lost her hair, I decided it would be a good idea to cut and donate mine??.
Will, NSW
Had been growing his hair for 2½ years before cutting it!
He started growing his hair for the fun of it, then at the beginning of the year, his Nan mentioned that some people donate their hair to kids who lost theirs. He loved that idea and soon asked if it was possible to "make money for the scientists so they can make better medicines and people wouldn't loose their hair in the first place"
Then in May this year Will's Narni, was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed 11 weeks later. As you can imagine, this gave him a much more personal and deeper understanding of how amazing and important his choice to do this was. He cut it on the 9th of December, which would have been Narni's 66th birthday.
Adele, VIC
My name is Adele and I am 10 years old. I have never dyed my hair before and would like to donate it to Wigs4Kids. I started growing my hair roughly 2 years ago when my Aunty got breast cancer. Now she is finished with cancer but my friend has gotten Leukaemia and is being treated at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. This is the first time I have donated my hair
Sophie NSW,
Sophie hopes her hair will help to make a sick child feel better
Ruby & Lucy
We decided to cut our hair off to donate it to Wigs 4 Kids. We decided to donate hair as we have friends close to us that have had cancer and lost their hair. Knowing how hard that can be for people and being able to donate 45cm and 25cm of of hair to create a wig for someone is amazing
Rebecca & Summer, NSW
We are so happy we could help support a child that is going through such a devastating time in their life. We hope this small gesture can make a difference.
Allison
Was very happy and glad to know her hair would help someone else out.
Grace, ACT
Grace will be 7 next month and had barely had a hair trim in her life so when she decided she wanted her hair cut short, we decided to put her hair to good use and donate it to be made for someone who needs it. In just a few days we were able to raise $1746 for the Kids with Cancer Foundation. It was a beautiful learning experience for our girl.
Zane, VIC
I cut my hair to fundraise to help sick kids throughout Australia. Some of my close relatives have been diagnosed with cancer and been through radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, whilst others are just beginning their battle. Cutting my hair will not benefit them, but donating my hair will make a world of difference for a kid that has lost their own.
Ruby, NSW
Ruby, aged 10 years, has always had beautiful long hair. As she sat in the chair, for her 'back to school' haircut, she asked her hairdresser could she cut her hair to her shoulders, so that she could donate her hair to make a wig for someone going through cancer treatment, in memory of our very special friend Tam. Tam passed from breast cancer at age 30, she was such a big part of our lives, she had a rare disability, and only saw the happy in life.
Ruby wanted to give someone the opportunity to have a beautiful wig, just like Tam had.
Elisabeth, NSW
Today (25/1/2023) I cut my long hair ready to be sent to the wigmakers for a wig for a child with cancer. I was feeling very nervous but also excited at the same time.
I would like to encourage you to donate your hair if you want because it is all for a great cause. If you are like me and you've wanted your hair shorter and you have very long hair, why not donate it? This is a great cause :-) ".
Angie,
I have been thinking of donating my hair for about the last 3 years, the event that made me actually do it was that 1 of my best friends was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she was 11 weeks pregnant, I made a promise to her that I would donate my hair and then shave my head so we could grow our hair back together. I then started googling where to donate my hair, and came across “Wigs for Kids” and liked that the hair wasn’t sold overseas.
Tash, ACT
My names Tash, I’m a 30 year old physio and Pilates instructor from the ACT. A few years ago out of the blue I ended up hospitalised with a serious illness, followed by being bedbound for a really long time. I went from treating patients to being the patient, and lost the active, outdoorsy life I once knew. During my tough days I decided if and when I recovered, I would help someone else in a similar situation. I just wasn’t exactly sure how!
In the last month I’ve been hitting major recovery milestones, including hiking my first mountain again! The other day a stranger complimented my hair (I had lots of it!) and a lightbulb went off. That afternoon I googled where I could donate it, and came across Wigs 4 Kids. I booked my haircut the next day and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous but I thought of the beautiful brave Aussie children battling cancer - that sorted my courage right out!!
Besides being insanely inspire by these kids, I am absolutely loving my new hair do, and am grateful for Wigs 4 Kids to allow me to share my hair, my love and my story to those who need it more than me
