End of an era
I've been growing my hair since January 2021. It started as a (poorly styled) chin-length bob, and now I need to move it out of the way to avoid tucking it into my pants. In that time, I've finished a bachelor's degree and (nearly) a master's degree, been to Europe twice, changed my career plans no fewer than 5 times, and had an uncle pass away from leukaemia.
On Thursday the 15th of May, I'm cutting off around 35cm of my hair to help make a wig for someone who has lost theirs. In memory of my uncle Len, I'm hoping to raise some money to fund the research vital for giving those with leukaemia a fighting chance. Anything helps and is appreciated enormously!
