This is our son Adam, he is 9 years old. Three years ago Adam watched a programme about children losing their hair due to medications for Cancer treatment and was very moved by it, he was overwhelmed when he saw how a wig changed a child's life. He said he wanted to do something to help them, so he decided that night he would grow his hair, so he could help make some other little boy or girl happy.

Adam will soon be getting his hair cut and donating his pony tail, which is currently at 15 inches long to The Rapunzel Foundation, who provide free, real hair wigs to both children and adults who have lost their own hair through Cancer treatment or other conditions like Alopecia.

Adam attends Kilberry NS, Athy, Co.Kildare, he would like to take this opportunity to also try to help his school during these difficult times, as this year fundraising is complicated by COVID-19, Kilberry NS can no longer run their traditional sponsored events and unfortunately Government funding does not sufficiently support schools to purchase all the resources needed. 

We are setting up this donation page to help raise much needed funds for Equipment, PPE, etc. for the boys & girls of Kilberry NS & also to help The Rapunzel Foundation with funding towards the cost of making a wig.

Thank you for any help you can give, it will be very much appreciated.
