Chop it for a Cause

By Dymitha Hockey

I'm raising money to help make Wigs for Kids

Welcome to my page.  I am a mother and grandmother in my late 50's.  I have decided to cut  my hair and donate it to go towards making a wig.  I am fundraising to support the creation of bespoke wigs for children and provide essential financial assistance to families in need.

I've  had long hair most of my life, and was contemplating shortening my over all length. Then  I saw Hallie's story on A Current Affair and decided to  cut it MUCH shorter in support of a greater cause to help someone who needs it more than myself.  

I appreciate your support on my fundraising journey and hope together we can make a small difference  for kids living with cancer and their families.

OMG it is getting real now..  Just under $300 now before we have enough to make one (1) wig. 

I have never had really short hair and I am getting a bit anxious.

This time next week I will have a new style.

Thankyou to those who have already donated, it really means a lot.

I'm getting a little nervous now.  9 days to go before Jaz at New Rhythm Endless Solutions cuts my hair. 

 Just over $500 to go before half way and enough to make one (1) wig.

Thanks for the support already received.  Please friends dig deep.

2 week in - 2 weeks to go

Thankyou to those who have donated.  
Remember it costs $3,300 to make 1 wig and we are nearly there.
I would like to raise enough to make 2 wigs.
Please friends dig deep, every little bit counts
