Haircut for hope

I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

Back in 2018 my whole world changed when my dad got a diagnosis no one wants to hear. Since then our family has been greatly affected by this currently incurable disease. To help Dementia Australia continue their support of Aussie families doing it tough I've decided to cut and dye my long hair in hopes to raise funds.


All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.

Thank you for your support and especially to those who have supported my family since 2018 xx

I have no words to express the absolute love I have for anyone who has shared this page or donated anything they could. This generosity does more than most people will ever know for families like mine, so thank you a million times for your support and bringing light to something like dementia, that is usually so dark and lonely

Fundraising goal raised

Thursday 4th Nov
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me so far. Not just with donations but with comments and messages. I'm overwhelmed by the sense of community and support I've felt around me. Thanks to everyone's support I've almost reached my goal in under 48hrs, due to this ive decided to raise it to $800 to see just how far we can all go together towards helping dementia Australia. Once again thank you to all of you who have supported me so far! xx
