Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am Hannah Landsman and I have decided to have my hair cut and for my hair to be made into a wig.  I have been growing my hair for the last two years so that I can donate it to make a wig. 

Why do it?  A few years ago, a pupil at my school had her hair cut in front of the whole school.  I learnt that she did this so that her hair could be made into a wig to be used by children who have lost their hair.  These children have cancer and, as I am sure you know, the treatment for cancer is severe and causes the patient’s hair to fall out.  I cannot imagine how they cope with losing their hair however I can only guess how much better they will feel by wearing a wig. How their confidence would be restored.

Another reason why I am doing this is because the mother of a friend of mine has cancer, consequently, as a result of her treatment, she has lost all her hair.  She now wears a wig that makes her feel normal and gives her more confidence to carry out her life as if everything is okay.

I have chosen to donate the sponsorship I receive to Zichron Menachem as it is a charity that concentrates on helping children and their families.  The facilities that they provide, help boost their patient’s self-esteem, the wigs they provide, help the child to fit in, not to be singled out and to help everyone live a normal life.

I hope that you agree with my thoughts and reasoning as to why I want to do this, and I hope that you will help by sponsoring me.

Thank you
