Joel McCanna

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

As most of you know, I have been growing my hair for the last 3 years.  Now it's time for a big change.  

I am cutting my hair to fundraise to help sick kids throughout Australia.  Not only will my lovely locks be used to make a wig, your donations to the cause that means so much to me, will allow Kids with Cancer Foundation to continue with their financial support of families that have a child suffering cancer.

Please donate to my fundraiser, and share with your family and friends, together we can all make a difference.

Each wig costs $2000 to make which is supplied to the kids free of charge by the Kids with Cancer organisation.  I really would love to raise enough money to supply at least 1 wig to a child who needs my hair.

I will be cutting my hair Sunday 19 February, so stay tuned for more details.

Saturday 18th Feb
With less than 24 hours to go, I have almost hit my target.  I am so grateful to all of the wonderful people who have taken the time to donate to this amazing cause.
I have been overwhelmed with stories from people who have donated.  Some are happy to see my hair go and some have had cancer touch their lives in some way.  I am honored to be able to help in my own small way.
If mum can work out the technology tomorrow, we will live stream my hair cut on Facebook around 2.30pm.  I'm so excited.

1 week to go !!

Sunday 12th Feb
I am so excited today.  With only 1 week to go until I get my hair cut, I am more than half way to achieving my $5000 goal.  You still have time to make your donation!!

I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people who have donated to Kids With Cancer over the last few weeks.  I am blown away by the whole community who has supported me on this journey.  I have had so many well wishes from all of my family and friends, my school community, the baseball community, the golf community and even our local MP.  So much kindness !!

Stay tuned for the before and after photos next Sunday afternoon!


WOW ! So much support for this wonderful cause.

Tuesday 24th Jan
Thank you all so much for your very generous donations so far.  I am just over a quarter of the way to my target and I am so grateful to have raised over $1600 to date.  I almost have the funds for the purchase of 1 wig and I am really excited about being able to help.

Here is a new photo of my hair while I was at the beach last week for a surfing lesson.

You only have 3 more weeks to donate to this sensational organisation.  Don't forget you can come and see the results on Sunday 19 February.

Thank you to my Sponsors
