Beth’s Big Chop for Kids Cancer

By Bethany Van Strijp Join Me

I'm raising money to help relieve the financial burden from families that have a child being treated for a cancer diagnosis.

Hey Legends, 


As a lot of you may know, in 2025 my world changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 27. Since then I’ve learnt so much and navigated the physical and emotional challenges of surgery and recovery. 

I am now preparing for the next chapter of my treatment: eight rounds of chemotherapy, followed by hormone therapy. Unfortunately one of the side effects of the AC drug is hair loss. 


As a woman, I know how much our hair is tied to our identity, confidence and sense of self. The thought of losing mine is incredibly daunting. But as I prepare for this next stage, I want to turn something difficult in my own journey into something meaningful. 


Having experienced a cancer diagnosis and knowing the feeling of being the youngest person in the clinic, I want to sharing the dignity & give a child a little confidence and normality during such a challenging time. 


My goal: One wig donated, raising funds for a second.

Medical-grade human hair wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment cost $3,300 to make. My goal is to help provide two children with a beautiful, custom-made wig.


The Gift of Hair: I am donating my own hair to be made into a wig for a child undergoing cancer treatment. I’ll be posting a video online when it’s done! 


The Gift of Funding: I am aiming to raise $3,300 to cover the cost of making a second wig for another child in need.


Thank you for standing by me, supporting me through this chapter of my life, and helping me turn something difficult into something that can bring joy to others.


❤️ Beth
