Shaving my hair for a good cause

Six years ago I decided that I would grow my hair out from a 0 to one day donate it for Cupcakes of Hope so they could use it to make wigs for little girls going through chemo.

Hence why I have not coloured my hair or even had anything other than trimming done. Cupcakes of Hope is an inspiring organisation who help affected families with medical bills and support. Shaving my hair off is the best way I know to really make people pay attention, raise awareness and donate to this incredible initiative.

I want to raise R500 000 which is a tall ask but there’s no harm in trying to do the best that I can even if I don’t reach my target.

To gather excitement around the build up to the shave I have posted a creative selfie every day through August on Instagram @christystrever.
