I am cutting my lifelong mullet to raise $10K for youth mental health in memory of my uncle. No one should feel alone 💛 #IAmHope

Waikato

Hi! My name is Alex, I’m 9 years old, and I’ve been growing my mullet my whole life — but that’s about to change.

On Thursday, 18th September, it will be 10 years since my Uncle Sammy left this world. He was struggling, and sadly, he took his life just 12 days before I was born.

Even though I never got to meet him, I miss him. And I want to make sure other kids don’t have to miss their cool uncles like I do.

So on Friday, 19th September 2025, I’m cutting off my mullet — all of it — to raise $10,000 for I Am Hope, a charity helping young people get the support they need.

I'm doing this so someone else’s uncle, aunty, brother, sister, or friend gets to stay. Because no one should feel alone, and no one should be left behind.

Will you help me make a difference?
