Hair for Care

By Valentina Zimsen

Why Hair for Care?

Three of my aunties either have had or currently have breast cancer. We have recently lost one, and some of the pain it has caused my family has been added to greatly by the worry for my other two aunties. 

However, it has receded, slowly but surely, because of their huge progress through treatment, and wow, they are giving cancer a run for its money. I would feel so grateful if you could help me help others to feel the same hope and strength that my family has begun to rediscover. 

I will be cutting my hair and donating it for wigs through Sustainable Salons. It is an organisation that distributes ponytails to charities and local wigmakers who make wigs for people going through medically induced hair-loss conditions such as cancer. 

I am also fundraising for the National Breast Cancer Foundation to fund the research and find the cure. I appreciate your support for my very first fundraiser. 

Together we can beat cancer! 
(and kick its butt for good)

Hi Valentina, You are incredibly brave. When my mum was diagnosed with cancer, my sister suggested we shave our heads if she had to undergo chemo—but I wasn’t quite ready for that. Thankfully, her cancer was caught early and wasn’t aggressive, so she only needed radiotherapy. Sadly, that’s not the case for many women facing breast cancer. I’m truly proud of you for standing strong and kicking cancer’s butt—it absolutely deserves it! You’re bold, courageous, and inspiring. Keep going—you’ll smash your fundraising goal and raise triple what you set out to!
