I had the privilege of teaching Evie in both Pre School and in Prep. In those two years, Evie taught me more than any adult in my life ever has. She touched my heart and soul and like many, I am forever changed for having been blessed to have known, played games, dressed up, danced, talked, listened, held, loved and had Evie in my life if only for a brief moment.  During one of the many times Evie and I sat playing hair dressers, she began to brush my hair and spoke of how she dreamed of the day she could grow her hair long....... Gosh what I would give to be able to feel her little hands in my hair or to hold her again. To watch her beautiful, dimpled smile from ear to ear as she spun with her dress twirling around. Evie truly was so beautiful, not just on the outside but her personality, her love for God and her heart for others just shone so brightly. Although she battled more in her six years than most would in a lifetime, she did it with a HUGE smile and great big dimples. When Evie smiled, she lit up the whole room.   I made a promise to Evie that I was going to grow my hair until I was 40 and donate it to have a wig made from it. This moment has almost arrived and I have strong mixed emotions of both joy and sadness. The past four years I have battled some big health and life challenges, making brushing my hair extremely hard and painful and so many times I have wanted to cut it all off and have cried tears as I brushed my hair. But I remembered my promise to a special little girl who conquered so much more, all whilst smiling.  Although Evie is no longer here in person, she is very present in my here and now. She is my reminder to keep smiling and persevering, no matter how hard life is. So even though brushing my hair has been a hard task, it has also been such a beautiful one too, as each day it had me reflecting on such a beautiful soul who was taken way too soon. On the days I struggle and feel like just staying curled in bed cuase each movement hurts, I always tell myself, 'Evie could and so can I!' Quitting is not an option. As much as it's time to complete my promise, and I won't miss the struggle of trying to brush my hair, I will NEVER forget the precious girl who inspired me to do it. Evie, you will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.  I am believing for this to truly be a blessing towards finding a cure for childhood cancer, and I know it's a hard time for people at the moment, but I am hoping people can give generously to honour Evie's memory.  If we raise: $1,000 cut to shoulder length $2,000 cut to ear length $5,000 Cut short $10,000 Totally shave - my dream!
