THERE is something a little special in the world when the light of children shines as the brightest part of our humanity. Which was the case last month when ten-year-old Maleah McAuliffe donated her hair to make wigs for cancer patients.
Inspired by a friend, Maleah grew her hair couple of years to achieve the desired 20cm length before embarking on the big chop. She bravely made the first cut herself before a hairdresser fashioned a new style.
The cut hair went was sent to Sustainable Salons, who send the ponytails directly to wigmakers and to charitable organisations such as Variety and the Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation to be made into charitable wigs.
Not only did the incredibly generous Maleah donate her wonderful locks for wigs, she also managed to raise $700 for World’s Greatest Shave, the charity shaving heads for the Leukaemia Foundation since 1998.
