Proserpine State School student, Sophie Dening, has decided to cut her hair for kids with cancer.
Getting the big snip last Friday, Sophie has sent off the fallen locks to be repurposed into a wig for a child with cancer.
“I have beautiful hair with such a unique colour,” Sophie explained on her fundraising blog.
“I wanted to share my beautiful hair with someone who needs to feel beautiful.
“Kids with cancer unfortunately lose their hair due to necessary medical treatments to make them better. If one little girl could have a wig made from my hair, I know it would make her smile (and me),” she explained.
“I started growing my hair and this journey a couple of years ago so I could have it long enough for me to still have a bob cut when I get the big chop.”
Having been sent off last week, Sophie’s hair will arrive at the Wigs 4 Kids wig partner, Ella Wigmakers, to be constructed into a wig for a child with cancer.
Kids with Cancer Foundation support children and young families of pre-teen children, between the ages of 0 to 12 years old, that are experiencing financial difficulties due to their child being treated for cancer, along with doctors, nurses, social workers, and cancer research.
