Hi everyone! Just letting you know I now accept Paypal donations. If you'd like to donate through Paypal, please send your donation to cait.chav@yahoo.com

and I will donate your money directly to my JustGiving page. Must be a minimum donation of $2. Paypal is safe and simple. Please include a name and message (optional) with your donation! Thank you so much for your support!

Basically, I've started this online fundraiser to help a charity called Young Minds, which is a non-profit organization that helps kids and young adults with mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. So, I dare you guys to raise $150 by September 20th and if we do that, I will shave my head AND film it. Unfortunately, I can't donate my hair to a charity as well because it has been bleached and dyed.

I chose the charity Young Minds because I can connect with it on a very personal level. I don't want to go into too much detail, but, on-and-off for the past 4 years, I've been struggling with depression and anxiety myself. I still have severe panic attacks occasionally, but it's been getting better. I don't think anyone should feel that way, so that's why this charity is so important to me. I just hope this fundraiser will help some people struggling with depression or other mental health disorders.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

If you can't donate, I understand, but I would really appreciate it if you shared this page on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or whatever other social networks you're on. Simply sharing this page helps so much!

So please dig deep and donate now. Hopefully we can raise this money and make a difference in someone's life.
