Olivia the Zero Hero

By Gabrielle Miller

Olivia the Zero Hero

For Olivia’s 6th birthday she has asked to cut her “Rapunzel hair” that she has been growing for 2 years and donate it.  

She will be donating her hair through the National Breast Cancer Foundation in memory of her Grandma, Janet, who passed away from triple negative metastatic Breast Cancer in 2020, at the young age of 55, after an 18 month battle.

Olivia wants to donate her hair so that it can be made into a wig for people who lose their hair when they are sick with cancer. 

She also wants to raise money to get better help and medicine for people who are very sick so that they don’t have to go to heaven. 

Her hair cutting event will happen early December and we will update this page when specific details are confirmed. 

Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help Olivia reach her goal. Every donation, big or small, will help Olivia get there. 

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.

Thank you so much for your support!

The story behind the birthday wish

Monday 14th Nov
Olivia and all of her family are seriously blown away by the amount of love and support Olivia has received for her birthday wish. Alot of people have asked why such a young girl has thought of such a thing to do for her birthday so I thought I would share Olivia's story. 
Olivia was so close to her grandma, and she was just 3 years old when her beautiful grandma passed away. As strong as grandma was, and as much as our family protected Olivia from what Grandma went through, she saw the impact Breast Cancer can have. 
From grandma losing her hair and wearing a wig, to seeing the impact of her chemo and radiation treatments, mastectomy, needing a portable Baxter pump, to then being unable to walk, talk, eat, having an oxygen machine and then sadly going to heaven. This was and is a lot for a little girl to process. 
So, Olivia, being the kind soul she is, has asked to cut her hair so that it can be made into a wig for people who lose their hair when they are sick and to raise money to get better medicine for people, so they don't have to go to heaven.
This is a picture of Olivia with her sister and grandma a couple of weeks before grandma went to heaven.

New special target

Monday 14th Nov
We have increased the fundraising target to $3,285. This is to represent the 3,285 Australians who will go to heaven this year from Breast Cancer, which is just such an overwhelming number of people losing their fight to this disease. 

New fundraising target

Friday 4th Nov
Due to the overwhelming support so far for Olivia's cause, we have decided to set a new fundraising target of $2,000.
Thank you all so much for your love and support for Olivia.
Love 
Olivia and family x

We know how hard it is to loose a Grandma (Nanna) when you are young. Thinking of others when you are grieving is hard but cutting your hair is a brave and strong thing to do.
