Hi all! Welcome to my charity fundraising page.

I have been growing my hair out for over 4 years (wow!), and I always knew that when it felt right I was going to chop off and donate my hair so that someone else could appreciate these locks!

Well, now the time has finally come.

As much as my hair has become an important part of my identity, I am blessed to even have the ability to grow it this long. It will definitely be difficult for me to let go, but infinitely easier knowing that my hair will go to someone who needs it far more than I do.

I have chosen to donate my locks to Hair We Share Non-Profit Charity, who collect hair to hand-make wigs for those suffering hair loss due to medical conditions." You can read more about them here: https://hairweshare.org/

On Sunday April 28th, I will cut off all my hair to package and send in to Hair We Share. I will share photos of before, during, and after the process! In addition to sending in all 12-20 inches of my hair, I am also raising a modest amount of funds to complement! Making a wig from real hair is actually a long, strenuous, and expensive process, so by raising these funds we will not only sponsor my wig but other ones as well! The cool thing is that if I raise over $125, they will provide photos once the wig is finished, and possibly even updates on the recipient, provided their consent of course.

I am excited to raise money for this great cause. Please click the 'Donate' button to give what you can! Any amount is appreciated, seriously! Please also help me by spreading the word to others. Even better, if you're feeling adventurous, click on the 'Branch' button to set up your own campaign customized for your friends, family and co-workers. Together we can make a considerable difference!!!

Thank you so much for supporting me and this great cause. Your backing makes me feel incredibly blessed to have what I have, and be able to part with my hair for an honorable cause.

Sending much love.
