Becs going bald

By Rebecca Hughes Join Me

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

I am shaving my hair before my chemo treatment starts 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.

Monday 29th Jun
$1,084 Raised... and We’re Just Getting Started!

When I first decided to shave my head before chemotherapy, I never imagined the incredible wave of support that would follow.

What started as a way to take back a little control over my own cancer journey quickly became something so much bigger. Instead of simply losing my hair, I wanted to turn it into something positive by raising money for Wigs4Kids—a local charity that provides beautiful, custom-made wigs to children experiencing hair loss due to cancer and other medical conditions.

Today, I'm overwhelmed to say we've raised $1,084!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who has donated, shared my fundraiser, sent words of encouragement, or simply cheered me on. Every dollar raised means another step towards helping a child regain confidence during one of the hardest times of their life.

As I begin radiation treatment and prepare for chemotherapy, this fundraiser has given me something incredibly positive to focus on. Cancer takes so much away, but together we've proven that kindness, compassion, and community are stronger.

This journey isn't just about me anymore. It's about every child who deserves to look in the mirror and smile. It's about reminding families that they aren't facing this battle alone.

We've already surpassed every expectation I had, but we're not finished yet. Every additional donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference to children who need it most.

Thank you for standing beside me through my own cancer journey while helping me make someone else's a little brighter.

Let's keep this incredible momentum going. Together, we can make an even bigger difference.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
