About me and why
Hi my name is Abbey Dobinson I'm 18 years old and on the 6th of December I will be cutting off 32cm of my hair.
This is something I have wanted to do for a while and knowing that I am finally about to do something I have wanted to do for a while is a feeling I cannot express. The idea of donating my hair was brought to me when my mum and I were talking and remembering how I expressed my interested in cutting my hair and donating it in the past.
I’m doing this as I know so much of people’s identity is tied to their hair and knowing I am helping someone through such a difficult time in their life would make me feel for filled that I at least helped one person.
I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.
Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’.
Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 of them will survive five years after a cancer diagnosis, but there’s still so much work to be done.
Cancer Council needs our support more than ever this year. Every dollar raised gives hope for a cancer free future. By supporting my walk, you’re funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
No need to feel bad about people donating :)
