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.

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.

“I have been growing my hair for all of my thirteen years, and I knew when I finally cut it that I wanted it to go to someone that it would make a difference to. I love that this simple act could help a child struggling with something I can’t even imagine.
I hope my hair, and the money I raised when cutting it, can help a child that needs it!”

I didn’t get any donations as it was a last minute decision to chop it off as I’ve just had a newborn. But I wanted to keep it to donate as it is WAY too beautiful to be thrown in the bin. I will send tomorrow as I forgot the other day to send it. Look forward to you seeing a smile on a child’s face

Mark, Vic
As for my story I have recently begun an attempt to become a professional wingsuit flyer. As such I have opted to shave my head for optimal aerodynamics and to prevent it from obscuring my vision whilst in flight. I figured if my hair could be used to help out some kids then for sure!
I'll shall post out the hair itself asap, please let me know if there's any information I've missed.
Ava,
I was inspired to cut my hair for cancer when I realised that I have all of this hair that could be used for a good cause and even when I cut it and I don't like my new hair cut, I can always grow it back, but the kids with cancer can't. I plan on doing it again, and I love my new hair cut, and I hope the person that got my hair loves it too!
Matthew, VIC
I like having long hair but there comes a point when long becomes too long and the dreaded scissors are needed. I grew the hair featured here without a cut from 2018 and it was really stressful being separated from what I had grown quite attached to. Once the first snips were over though, I opened my eyes and realised that having a hair cut wasn’t so bad after all; I can always grow it long again anyway and once I start getting strange looks from those around me, can donate it again to such a great cause!
Laikynn & Mary,
My daughter and I have been so blessed to experience this journey together.
Maddy,
Excited to be donating her hair to a child need a wig.

POWER OF SHARING
I became aware of the difficulties faced by children who were suffering from childhood cancer when I was in year 3.
I learned that they needed wigs as their hair fell out and that there were people donating their hair to make wigs for them. At that moment, after discussing it with my family, I decided to grow my hair to donate.
Last weekend, I cut about 30cm of my hair and donated it. It felt really strange to cut a part of my own body, but I eventually overcame that feeling and embraced my new look and my heart was filled with happiness knowing I could help kids in pain.
I was grateful for the fact that this small effort didn't cost any money. I considered it a significant act of sharing that even children like us can do. I realized that helping others brings a joy and fulfillment that cannot be compared to anything else.
I don't want to force any of you to donate your hair, but if you want to help someone, I believe it's one of the best things we can do ourselves. Hair grows every day, after all.
I encourage you to consider hair donation at least once if you understand the value of sharing and have a warm heart to help others.
Grace
I hope a child is happy and blessed with their new wig!
Matilda 4 VIC
Matilda agreed to have her long locks cut to donate to kids with cancer. Matilda was so excited to get her hair cut and very pleased with her new look.

Taylah QLD
As someone who has lost multiple family members (including children) to Cancer, I feel this is the least I can do to help other families. If a hair cut to you could give a child in need a wig, but more importantly, their confidence. Why not do it?
Alex, 12, VIC
Alex’s hair has always been an important part of his identity and something that made him feel good about himself. When he decided to cut it off in preparation for High School, he wanted to help another kid feel good about themselves by donating his hair to the Wigs4kids program.

Jess
I have been growing my hair naturally for a few years as I've always wanted to donate it one day.
Recently my partner was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Burkitt lymphoma. We shaved his head, so I decided to cut mine too. I thought why not go through a change together, and then a child in need gets new hair.
Maria NSW
I decided to cut my hair as it was getting really long. I asked my hairdresser (who is also my auntie) if she thought my hair was healthy enough to donate and she said it definitely was and we measured the length and it was way over the required length. After researching, I was so happy to find Kids with Cancer. I love kids, they make me smile, laugh and bring so much joy in this world. It makes me upset hearing and knowing that there are kids with cancer and the thought that I could do something in return for them, made my day. I really hope my donation can make a child in need smile and feel the same happiness they give me.
Kirsty NSW
I cut off my lovely hair, to donate to Kids with Cancer Foundation. This is very touching to me, as I work with children. I cut over 20cm off hair. This was to honour those who have had cancer, especially to the ones in my families who have had it or died from it.
Claire
I’ve been growing my hair for 4 years and this is my 3rd donation to companies that make wigs for people who have cancer.
It makes my heart so happy that I am able to contribute my hair and show my children the kindness that can be done for others.
Thank you for creating these beautiful pieces.
Mackenzie NSW
About 4 months ago I was diagnosed with a Chronic Illness called Crohns. Due to the treatment I began to lose my hair in clumps. I knew it would eventually grow back once the medication has been changed, however I wanted to take control back, I also wanted to put a smile on a child’s face who have lost there hair due to treatment as-well. So I decided to shave my head and donate to “Wigs 4 Kids”. I hope I have brighten these little warriors day, allowing them to feel confident, beautiful and shine bright like the stars they are xx

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

Bryher
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.
Christine, VIC
I have always loved the idea of donating hair to be made into Wigs 4 kids as this small change for me makes a massive difference to a child's life. I feel honoured to be able to help a child feel confident and spread happiness. These smiles are what inspired me to donate my hair.
Kellie-Ann NSW,
Donating hair to put a smile on a little face.
Sam, NSW
Sam has been growing his hair for 3 1/2 years. He has healthy, thick and curly hair. Everyone comments on how gorgeous his hair is. He decided that he wanted to cut it all off and donate it to kids who have lost their hair due to cancer.
Leela, NSW
Donated her hair to make a child with cancer feel a little more normal!
Kenzo, WA
Initially we just let Kenzo’s hair grow out since birth, and I wanted to let it grow until he was old enough to decide if he wanted to keep it long or cut it short. At that point it was already quite long, so we decided to grow it out long enough so that once it was cut, it could be used in a positive way rather than discarded.
We also wanted to use it as a lesson to not be wasteful and find ways in which you can reuse or recycle things. It was also a good opportunity to teach Kenzo about the struggles that some children/people may face, and that if you find yourself in a privileged and fortunate position where you could provide help to someone in need, you should do so.
Lucy,
Yesterday I finally cut my hair. It was sent to Ella Wigmakers and posted this morning. I have been growing my hair for almost 2 years and I feel a sense of accomplishment in that I have achieved my goal of sending my hair to help bring happiness to a child that has lost their hair through cancer treatment.
Harley,
Would love to inspire others to help a child in need!
Willow
This is a cause very close to our families heart and I’m greatful we can help.
Vippy,
I have sent x2 different set of hairs to the address mentioned. Hopefully they will be worth it and some one will have a smile on their face.
I overheard the conversation about someone growing her hair so she could donate. That's what inspired me. Every child is special, and no one should feel less confident.
Layla, NSW

I hope some kids with cancer can benefit from all these plaits.
Jing Wang, Vic
. My hair is a descent length and not bad quality. I’ve heard of hair donation on social media. So I decide to donate my hair to kids with cancer after web search. Hope my hair can help at least one little angel feel confident and normal. And I probably will get my daughter to do the same thing when her hair grows longer.
Lakyn
Lara, Qld
Lara suddenly decided on the weekend to cut her hair short and asked me to find out if her hair could be donated in some way. A quick google search found the Wigs 4 Kids campaign and we decided that was a perfect choice!
Jerome
Decided to donate her pony tails to wigs for kids as a gift in her way of paying it forward.
Alex, WA
I'd love to share my story (although nothing special) to help inspire someone else to donate. I simply went in for a haircut. Said I wanted a decent cut and the hair dresser asked if I was donating it. I replied, "do you think it's long enough?" not realising the length of my hair.
With some quick googling to confirm the length needed and where I could donate, the decision was made.
I'm so glad this spur of the moment decision will help a child going through one of the most difficult chapters of their life. I've already inspired my daughter, and she's working on growing her hair out to donate next.
Bayly,

Maya, 12, WA
Maya had grown her hair super long and was resisting my calls for a cut when eventually she decided it was too tricky to manage and she wanted it cut and to donate her hair to a great cause.
Lily 13 NSW
Lily has been growing her hair for quite a few years deciding to cut and donate to Wigs for Kids when it was long enough as she felt passionate about such a good cause. She needed to be able to cut it to a length that could be tied back for sport etc. So a few days before 13th her birthday we booked an appointment with our trusty hairdresser and they chopped off 30cm of beautiful blond locks! In addition to the hair Lily has managed to raise nearly $1000 for Wigs4Kids to help make the wigs.
Sandy
It is so rewarding to do something for people and kids who suffer from cancer. I donated my hair in 2020 first time, and I felt satisfied. I grew my hair again with the purpose of donation again. On 30th August 2023, I am donating my hair once again for people who need it most in shape of wigs.
I am hoping to do it again in future.
Sophie

Her mum and Grandfather are both nurses and she is very aware of children that have illnesses and when she decided to cut off her gorgeous hair wanted to make sure it went to a good cause and hopefully gives a child’s confidence with a wig made with love and such a wonderful cause..
Emerson QLD
Over a year ago, Emerson decided she wanted to donate her to make a wig. She has been growing it since, with the hope to donate 30cm in length. Sadly during Emerson's fundraising, one of her friends lost her life to cancer. Because of this, Emerson will be growing her hair again and donating it again in the future.
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
Well I’ve been planning on cutting my hair for a few months now and I’m one day my mum suggested to me that maybe I could donate it and I really loved the idea and the more I thought about it and looked into it the more I wanted to do it.
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.

Cutting her hair for Kids with Cancer!
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.

Susan
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.

“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 ? “

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.

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
Rylee WA,
Cut her hair to make a sick child feel a little more normal, as you can tell by her smile she loves it.
Grace, NSW

Henry NSW
Henry has been growing his hair for over four years and while super happy with his surfer look, he wanted a change. When he learned about the option to donate his hair six months ago, he insisted on growing it until he had 20cm to give away.
Kimberley, NSW
I’m from The United States and this will be my third hair donation! I grow my hair out every four or five years and I donate it to an organization that makes wigs for children who need it :)
Matilda, VIC
Matilda was very nervous as this was her first ever haircut and we didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable. Matilda is 6 years old and the only way we could convince her to cut her hair was the fact that she was able to donate it for kids that were going through a hard time in their lives
Kane
Kane was in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for 9 years. This meant shaving everyday & cutting his hair every 2 weeks so once he left the RAAF he decided, like many others do, to grow a beard & his hair. Kane left the RAAF about 4 years ago, so his hair had grown very long by that time. He decided to cut it but from the beginning he said he wanted to grow it to donate it. He decided on Wigs for Kids because every kid deserves to feel beautiful & have lovely hair so by donating his hair, he could help with that.
Georgia

Lexi,
Lexie, is 10years old and this the second time she has donated. First being in 2021!
Emma, NSW
Emma decided to donate her hair after seeing her grandmother go through cancer treatment and loose her hair, and then get a wig. She thought that by cutting off her hair for donation then another child would be able to smile with some new hair when they needed it.
Matilda, NSW
She has always had long hair only gets a trim once maybe twice a year to keep it healthy. For a little while now the long hair has been annoying her when doing different things so she decided in the school holidays to get it cut to a shorter length. Over the past year or two we have had family and close friends of the family go through cancer and sadly are no longer with us. And now her Aunty (my sister in-law) has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and started Chemo today.
So with seeing what they went through Matilda thought she doesn't want to see her hair go to waste but would like to see it help others. We did a search online to find an organisation that accepts hair donations and came across Kids with Cancer Foundation that got our attention. Matilda loves the idea of being able to help children that are going through a tough time. We also like that the hair will be used in wigs made locally.
Arlo,
Arlo is 5 years old and was so excited to cut her hair and send it away for another child to make them happy.
She has already told me she wants to grow it again so she can make more wigs!

When the girls had discussed cutting their hair we had looked in to giving their hair to kids fighting the same disease that both Loki and Krissy had fought and they thought it was a great idea to be able to help even if it was in what seemed to be a little way. They've both always had beautiful longhair but they had no hesitations in growing it a little longer and giving it to wigs for kids.
They also wanted to raise funds for kids families to try and help ease the burden of the ongoing costs associated with treatments and have tried to raise some money along the way. Even through hard times, every little bit counts.
They would like to thank those who have been kind enough to donate and thank you for reading their story.
Alice,
Donating her beautiful long hair to make a difference!

I have recently cut my hair and decided to donate it to Kids with Cancer Foundation. Specifically, Wigs 4 Kids.
Choosing to cut my long hair was a big change for me! I have only ever grown my hair and trimmed it, I never once thought I would cut and donate it. People would always say, “you’d look good with short hair” or “why don’t you cut it and donate it?” My response? “No! Never! I love my long hair”.
Yet here I am. Finally making the decision to change my hair style, donate it, and hopefully make a change.
Everyone, including myself, are very excited and proud of this next chapter in my life. I have only ever known my hair to be long, so I am in the clouds on the change.
My hair does not make me who I am, so I am proud to give it to another who needs it. I hope my hair can make someone very happy.

I am the mother of a three-year-old girl from Melbourne, Victoria and recently had the opportunity to donate my hair to create wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment and their families. I believe that this gesture can make a meaningful impact on their lives during such a challenging time.
As a mother, I understand the importance of compassion and support, especially for young ones facing health battles. I am grateful for the chance to contribute in this way, and I am committed to sharing this experience with my daughter. By telling her this story, I hope to instil in her a sense of empathy and a willingness to extend a helping hand to others in need.
Thank you for providing this avenue to make a positive difference. I look forward to knowing that my hair will be used to bring smiles to the faces of these brave children and their families.
Reuben, SA
I cut my hair because it always got in the way of everything. I play guitar in the morning but my hair always gets in the way of it. When I change my clothes it always makes me feel uncomfortable.
My friend called Charlie also had long hair but donated it to charity. I also wanted to donate my hair (which was 25cms long) to a charity called Wigs 4 Kids.
Because everyone deserves hair, especially people with cancer. By Reuben.

I am so grateful to be in a position where I can donate my hair to a child in need. I hope it can put a smile on the face of a child going through a difficult time. I would strongly encourage anyone considering donating to take the leap, knowing the wonderful impact it can have

My story is not remarkable, but I am inspired by the remarkable nature of these brave children that every day face the unthinkable. I believe in small actions having a big impact and know that my locks will find a loving home and make someone smile.
Tadhg, SA
After growing his hair for 2 years, Tadhg wanted to help a child in need of some hair! He doing so, he also raised nearly $2,000 to contribute financial support to families that have a child with cancer. This family and friends have been very generous with their donations.

My daughter and I decided to cut our hair to donate for someone in greater need than us. My daughter has always loved her 'rapunzel' hair but was so brave to be able to cut off 30cm of hair to donate. We hope this makes a difference in another childs life!
Amelia, 11, VIC
My name is Amelia and I am 11 years old. I have been growing my hair for more than 2 years and I decided to donate my hair to kids with cancer because my hair was very long and I knew someone else out there needed it more than I did. I wanted to make a difference to someone and help make another child happy.
Caitlyn, 9, VIC
