Strands of Love: Donating My Hair for Cancer Warriors

By Manpreet Kaur

I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

Hello everyone,

​I decided to make a big change for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. I have donated 35 cm of my hair to organizations that create wigs for patients fighting cancer.

​This cause isn't just important to me; it's personal. A few years ago, I lost a very close, dear friend to cancer. Watching someone you love go through that battle changes you, and I have felt deeply connected to this cause ever since.

​Losing my friend taught me so much about strength, but it also left me wanting to do more to support those who are currently facing the reality of a cancer diagnosis. Hair loss can be one of the most emotionally challenging parts of cancer treatment, affecting a patient's confidence and identity. By donating my hair, I hope to give a piece of comfort, dignity, and confidence back to someone who needs it most.


​How you can help:


While my hair will go toward making a wig, I am also using this opportunity to raise vital funds to support cancer patients and research.

​Any donation, big or small, makes a massive difference. If you aren't able to donate financially, sharing this page with your friends and family would mean the world to me.

​Thank you so much for your generosity, your love, and for helping me honor my beautiful friend's memory by bringing a little bit of light to someone else's fight.


​With gratitude,

Manpreet
