Please sponsor me to donate my hair!

[smurfette]

Hi guys, my three gorgeous girls and I have decided to donate our long hair to two charities who make wigs for little ones who have lost their hair because of cancer or to alopecia, The Rapunzel Foundation and the Little Princess Trust. We are also combining this with fundraising to some of our favourite charities, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and St Francis Hospice,, the hospice is close to my heart because I lost my dad to cancer in 2008, and while he was in a wonderful hospice it was a long way away, and St Francis Hospice is a new one which is being built in our area.. it would have made the world of difference to us to have him nearer.

Here is my fundraising page, all donations however small, would be gratefully received, hope you can help!!

Fiona Murphy's sponsored hair donation (http://www.mycharity.ie/event/fiona_murphy_sponsored_hair_donation/)

No, I will only have a bob but the girls won't be too short as it's waist length,, middle one fancies a new style and hair dresser will do it for free , having trouble finding one of those sites that show you what it will look like with your photo , anyone recommend any?!

What is your total do far?

Last count between 1300-1400! Still some to come in from people who said they will sponsor us and also the hairdresser is running a raffle so not sure how much is in the box for that, we counted it as 50 euros last week which we included but I think it's probably more than that !
