Wigs for Kids

Please help us raise funds to be donated to Wigs for Kids along with my hair donation! I have been growing out my hair for over a year and a half with the intention of donating it to Wigs for Kids, it would be such a blessing to be able to donate funds as well so that more children could benefit from my hair donation. Thank you for anything that you're willing or able to give!

I’m raising funds for Wigs for Kids, a nonprofit that provides custom hairpieces to children suffering from medical hair loss. And since my hair is over 15 inches long, I’ll be donating it to help a child in need!

How it Works:

The Haircut Choices:

1. Coiffed & Parted – A classic, polished look.

2. Bowl Cut – Straight out of the ’90s.

3. Flat Top – Military-style sharpness.

4. Undercut Comb Over – Trendy with a sleek edge.

5. Shaved Clean – No turning back!

Your donation won’t just decide my fate—it will help bring confidence to children experiencing medical hair loss.

Let’s make this a cut above the rest! ✂️

This is the second fundraiser for the SwimBikeRun IG page.

I have donated my hair on three separate occasions and I thought I would do something to try and raise some money for children with hair loss. I have created an Instagram page that is dedicated to this, SwimBikeRun4HairLoss. I aim to give helpful information and tips that are worth some money for children with hair loss. I am also doing "Fundraiser Races", where each time I enter an endurance race I will be choosing a new organization to donate to.

This time around we have chosen Wigs For Kids.

February 4th is World Cancer Day.

This year, I’m finally doing something I’ve promised myself for the past seven years: donating my hair. I’ve chosen to support a local nonprofit called Wigs for Kids , an organization that’s making a real difference in the lives of children experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions. It’s a simple act, but one that not many people do, and I encourage you to join in this movement or support my cause.

For the next month, I will be fundraising for this cause, with the goal of cutting and donating my hair in mid-March. Every contribution, no matter the size, means the world to me. Together, we can make a difference, 1 + 1 = more than 2.

How It All Started:


Back in 2017, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I felt lost and unsure of where I was headed. That’s when my friend, Weixuan, reached out and encouraged me to join a local fundraising campaign in Singapore called Hair for Hope. I agreed—partly because it was for a good cause and of course some friendly peer pressure. Shaving my head takes a lot of courage, but what I didn’t realize at the time was how much it would change me.

That experience became a light in what felt like an endless tunnel. During the event, I met so many incredible people who were facing cancer and other medical challenges. Their strength and resilience left a lasting impression on me. They reminded me that life is beautiful, fragile, and worth fighting for. If they could face their struggles with such courage, I had no excuse to give up on mine. Their stories stayed with me, even from afar. Now, I want to give back and let them know they’re not alone. This is my way of supporting them, just as they unknowingly supported and inspired me during a time when I needed it most.

To My Dear Friends:

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering supporting this cause. Your support means so much to me, and I’m grateful for every bit of it.

To My Friends in Singapore:


If you’re still thinking about donating, I encourage you to support Hair for Hope , a local organization in Singapore doing amazing work. Let me know if you donate—I’ll add your name to my thank-you note, and when I’m back in Singapore, I’ll treat you to bubble tea!

About Wigs for Kids :


Founded in 1981 by Certified Cosmetic Therapist Jeffrey Paul, Wigs for Kids has been helping children experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions like alopecia, trichotillomania, burns, and chemotherapy. They work with hair donors and skilled stylists to create high-quality wigs, which are provided to children completely free of charge.

For these kids, losing their hair isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s an emotional one too. A wig can help restore their confidence and remind them that they’re not alone in their journey.

Hi my name is Brandy. My daughter, Mary, has been growing out her hair for years in order to donate to Wigs for Kids. We are raising money for the charity in order to insure that her hair will bring joy to another child who has lost their hair to chemotherapy or other challenges.

We are donating in memory of Amy Smith, a young woman who was the sunshine of so many lives and is missed daily by those who loved her.

My name is Shawn Sepuka and I started to grow my hair out back in 2020 with one intention - to maybe one day donate it to someone that needs it. We all have lost loved ones from cancer, so I’m reaching out to anyone that will listen. Please donate to this so we can give as much help as we can for wigsforkids.org. It costs around $2,000 to make a wig, so any amount will help.

I want to give a special thanks to Volume Hair Studio for helping me get this process going. Let’s make a kid smile again with some nice hair!!!

Thank you for donating.

I am raising money for Wigs for Kids – I have been growing my hair for 3 years and will donate the raised funds, along with my grown hair, to benefit the community that Wigs for Kids serves.

As many of you know, I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer 5 years ago – during his treatment, one of the side effects was hair loss across his whole head. This change in his physical appearance had clear impacts for him…

Dramatic changes like this can impact a loved one’s self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-image…and to make matters worse, these mental challenges all come at a time when that loved one is already feeling vulnerable and struggling physically with a medical condition. This experience made a profound impression on me, and I recognized that any opportunity to alleviate some of this hardship for another person would be something I was interested in.

Soon after, I realized that this could be an opportunity for me to give back – if I committed to growing my hair to the minimum donatable length (12 inches), I could donate it to someone who was struggling with the same issues my Dad struggled with. I decided to go for it…other than regular “maintenance” cuts to trim dead ends, I have not had a haircut in more than 3 years.

After much research, I decided to donate my hair to Wigs for Kids, an organization that creates wigs and hairpieces for children who have lost their hair due to illness or treatment for illness. Wigs for Kids helps bolster kids’ self-esteem and boost their self-image by helping them look like themselves – more information on the organization can be found at their website: https://www.wigsforkids.org/.

Importantly, there is no financial cost to the families who receive hairpieces from Wigs for Kids - the organization relies entirely on financial donations and philanthropic support. The cost to create one new wig for a child is $1,800 – I intend to fundraise this amount to donate directly to Wigs for Kids alongside the hair I am currently growing out.

I am seeding this fund with $200 of my own money, and humbly ask that you consider making a contribution of your own, in whatever amount you can…truly any input will be impactful.

Thank you in advance for your support, both over these last three years of putting up with my long hair, and now!

With gratitude,

Brian

This month I’ll be donating my hair for the 3rd time. It takes me about 3 years to grow my hair out the 12 inches needed to donate. Each wig costs $1,800 for the wig makers to produce. Please help me fund one wig for a child in need. Any amount helps and is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
