Molly O’Donnell

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

I am cutting my hair to fundraise to support the creation of bespoke wigs for children, provide essential financial assistance to families in need, and funding within paediatric oncology hospitals across the country, ensuring that every child facing cancer receives the care and support they deserve.

Please support me in my fundraising journey, together we can make today easier for kids with cancer and their families.

I Did It! Hair Donation for Kids with Cancer

Friday 6th Dec

I’m so excited to let you know that yesterday afternoon I finally cut off my hair to donate to the Kids with Cancer Foundation!

I was a bit nervous, but as soon as my hairdresser Maria starting cutting it, I got more and more excited. Being able to use my hair to make a difference in the lives of children who are sick is something I feel really proud of. 

A huge thank you to all of you for supporting me along this journey! Your encouragement and kind words have meant the world, and I'm so happy to share this news with you.

Thank you for your support!

7 days to go!!

Thursday 28th Nov

In just 7 days, I’m going to cut my hair to donate to kids with cancer, and I’m so excited! It feels amazing to be helping such a great cause, and I can’t wait to make a difference.

The best part? Today I reached my fundraising goal! I couldn’t have done it without all the awesome people who sponsored me and donated. You’ve helped me raise money for this wonderful charity, and I’m so thankful!

Thank you to everyone who donated. I can’t wait to share photos of my new hair cut in 7 days!

Two weeks to go!!

Wednesday 20th Nov
With two weeks until I cut my hair, I have reached over 50% of my fundraising target. Thank you to those of you who have already donated money in support of my fundraising journey.

I am looking forward to cutting my hair. For one thing, I have been growing it since I was 4 when we lived opposite a children's cancer hospital in Vienna. I had a lot of questions about what was happening and why some of the kids didn't have much hair. My parents explained a little bit about what happens when you have cancer treatment. That's when I told my Mum and Dad I wanted to grow my hair to give to the kids who had lost theirs.

It will be a huge change for me after growing it for such a long time, but I am looking forward to a much quicker hair routine in the mornings! 

One month to go!

Tuesday 5th Nov

I’ve been growing my hair since I was little, and it feels weird to think about cutting it off, but I know it’s going to a great cause.

Wigs for Kids helps kids who lose their hair due to medical stuff like cancer. I can’t imagine how tough that must be, and I want to do my part to help. My hair might just be hair to me, but to a child who needs a wig, it could mean feeling more confident and happy.

On top of donating my hair, I’m also raising money for the charity. Every little bit helps, and I’m excited to see how much we can raise together! 💖

I’m a little nervous about the haircut, but I’m more excited about making a difference. If you want to support me or learn more about Wigs for Kids, feel free to reach out! Thanks for being part of this journey with me!
