Cutting of my beloved and long hair to raise money and awareness for the Mental Health Foundation of NZ

Canterbury

I've had long hair most of my life and it's part of who I am, but I've also had depression and anxiety most of my life so I know how hard it is to live with and how hard getting help can be. The mental health sector is very underfunded so I'm doing something to raise money for those suffering mental illness like myself, members of my family and many of my friends. But it's not just about raising money, I also want to show people that mental illness is not something to be ashamed off, that you can talk about it and that you are never alone with it no matter how much you feel like no one else is going through it. There are so so many of us in the same boat. And honestly I'm scared snotless of cutting my hair right off but if it can help others I will. If I hit my target it'll all go, right down to 2cms. If not I'll still lop most of it off. So make my fear worthwhile and donate. You can even come watch me shed tears as I'm shorn on the 29th of November at 5pm as part of the Movember shave off at the Twisted Hop in Woolston.
