Growing Their Mullets For Charity
Raising awareness for Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of Epilepsy.
Gore, Southland
Dixon suffers from a very rare form of Epilepsy, known as Dravet Syndrome. A genetic form of epilepsy. He asked his mate, Jacob, if they could grow their mullets and cut them off together to raise money for Epilepsy New Zealand.
They plan to cut them off in December (date to be confirmed) and in the meantime, will fundraise for the Cause. Regular updates will be provided by Dixon's mum and myself, Jo, Jacobs mum.

A tribute to Dixon - Introducing you to Davina 5 December 2025
It is getting closer to the Mullet Chop date. It's still heartbreaking to not be doing this with the initiator of the charity event, Dixon. I can still picture his beaming smile and how proud he was of his mullet and doing this with Jacob alongside him. I'm sure he would be super amazed and proud to have his beautiful cousin, joining in, with cutting her long beautiful hair off too. I would love to introduce you to Dixon's 9 year old cousin, Davina. Her hair is also long enough to be donated for the Cancer Wig Charity.
The date for cutting their hair will be the 19th of December.
All proceeds from this give a little page go directly to Epilepsy NZ, and as it's a registered charity, you will get a receipt for your donation.
Thinking of Dixon's amazing Mum, her brothers and family and friends, as Christmas looms closer, and the massive hole that exists, where a little boys laughter and fun used to fill.
Hug your loved ones, and treasure each day together.
Arohanui Lisha. Our thoughts and love are with you, Pacer and Harley.
-Jo (Jacob's mum)
