Iโ€™m fundraising to support families facing childhood cancer

Kids (Or anyone) should not suffer from cancer!

Help us spread the word that Rapunzel (aka Skyla) will be cutting her long, long,ย  LONG locks on the 5th March to raise funds in conjunction with Redkite, to help make a difference to these kids.

Any donation is appreciated, just $1 can help towards the goal - but most important please share this message with your friends, family, colleagues and even the local grocer.ย 

As we have all been touched in some way by Cancer and the war is still on to save our kids.

Go on, show your legendary status โ€“ share this page and donate anything big or small - just $1 each can make a difference.

Thank you so much, this is appreciated more than you know.

Todayโ€™s the day!!

Saturday 5th Mar
Ok. Bear with me, this could be a long post.ย 

Today, we have made a change in the world.ย 

Thank you, to all of you that shared and donated funds towards a wonderful organisation- Redkite.ย 

Sky has managed to raise over $4,700.00, and ย that 100% of these proceeds goes to RedKite.ย 

Sky woke up very excited to cut her hair, and as the day went on the nerves kicked in.ย 

We went on about our day, visited the school market, and meet some families that have seen first hand, how wonderful Redkite has been. These families and been through a lot, and how they thanked Sky for support and awareness towards Redkite, was very touching. (Yes, a few tears were shed) it was so beautiful that we could see, how this organisation has helped these special families.ย 

Walking into the hairdressers (Koh Elwood) was daunting, however Skyโ€™s resilience to continue was inspirational.ย 

As she sat in the chair, having her long locks brushed, we talked about how long it has been and how ๏ฟผ๏ฟผare we going to adjust to short hair.ย 

Her hair was then bundled into sections and tired off. (at this stage, I was getting quite emotional, and with the offer of a drink, how could I not resist)ย 

With the first cut, the tears flowed, not only by Sky but myself, the hairdresser and everyone else in the salon. It was a moment of sadness and joy at the same time, a moment of just how proud we are of such a young girl doing something, not for herself but for families in need.ย 

Anyway, I am trying not drag this on. (Adam is like -make it short and sweet)ย 

So with that, Sky was able to cut off over 55cm of hair

The hair!!

Thursday 3rd Mar
This is what where cutting off

4 More days!!

Tuesday 1st Mar
4 more days, until the Big Chop!!ย 
Skylaโ€™s is super excited about the generosity of all you beautiful people!!ย 

She has exceeded all expectations and raising over $4,500 for Redkite!!ย 

Skyla wanted me to post a few photos of her long hair - however due to my OCD itโ€™s been in braids for a Very Very long time.ย 

Youโ€™ll get the picture of the length through theses photos.ย 

Anyway. Thanks again beautiful people.ย 

We still have 4 more days, so keep sharing her link. Every cent raised goes directly to RedKite.ย 



Amazing!!!

Tuesday 22nd Feb

It have Hit over our Target!!!

It is amazing that you all have donated so much, but the fight is not over.

So, let band together and show just how much more support we can offer, Please share our link to Friend and colleagues.ย

Redkite has help many families, that have been touch by Childhood Cancer. Their support to these families has made the process a little easier. These families are able to solely focus on the issues at hand, and not having to worry about the mental or financial stress that is often associated with this disease.ย
