Year 8 student, Faith Hickey, is leading the fundraising charge having already raised over $1000. She says family, friends and an old teacher have been her biggest supporters so far. We asked her about the upcoming endeavour…
Why did you put your hand up to cut your hair?
My uncle died from cancer in 2020 and it was really fast. It impacted my Dad’s family a lot. I cut my hair all the time and throw it in the bin so I thought I may as well use it to bless other people.
What would you say to someone who is considering getting involved?
This year in Assembly we’ve been talking about doing something big and stepping out of your comfort zone so I’d say give it a go! I think getting involved encourages others to get out there and do more, and sets you up to do big things yourself later in life.
