13 year old shaving her head for breast cancer

$2,227 donated
Given by 38 generous donors in 4 weeks

I am a 13 year old girl with long blonde hair. I will be shaving my head to raise funds for breast cancer patients and research.

Nationwide

Hi, I’m Petra, I’m 13, and I will be shaving my head on the 24 November. I am raising money to donate to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. I will also donate all my long blonde hair (which I have been growing for nearly 4 years) to Freedom Wigs to become a wig for somebody who needs it.

Some of my parents’ friends have had breast cancer, and I want to do something helpful!

I have made an Instagram page for this as well, follow me @donate_to_breast_cancer

I did it! It was cut, buzzed, and shaved this afternoon. It was quite scary.

Petra, I am in awe - your gesture means a great deal to me. I am your late grand-father's brother and breast cancer has been significant in our family history. I am humbled by your actions and feel privileged to support you. Ian Graney
