Juliette and the Tuna and the golden wig!
Tax deductible
Juliette Goodman, aged 5, is raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital by donating her hair to The Little Princess Trust. Your support and cheer for her in making her generous and personal donation is very appreciated and any sponsorship will be considerably welcome by GOSH and all the awesome children and families they help and support. THANK YOU!
“I had a tuna on my face”, says Juliette. This comical error would likely have been a more desirable discussion point than the tumour on her head and her back.
(Juliette a few weeks before surgery with her "tuna" head, 2016)
When we received the result that Juliette’s tumours were benign, I then knew I had to do something to help the families facing the opposite and devastating result. Many memories were woven into the 15+ inches of hair I donated to the Little Princess Trust and now Juliette is supremely motivated to follow suit and donate her hair as well, raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. GOSH and The Little Princess Trust are essential to the hope, treatment and care provided during the times we all wish to never personally experience.
(Juliette a few days post surgery with the "butterfly" bruising coming out and swelling her eye lids and face, but not her smile! 2016)

We can’t claim that a wig of Juliette’s golden hair will be everything or even anything to a child who is suffering. But her hair has witnessed magic and the power of love and comedy storytelling, and it is our sincerest hope that such a wig will be worn as armour in battle and will maybe bring a smile and a smidge of relief for the caregivers and parents during their relentless and life changing ordeal.
Now “tuna” free, Juliette continues to be a glowing inspiration and model example on the importance of kindness to one another and to ourselves. She graciously smiled and entertained the notion of a purple and yellow butterfly on her face even though her eyes were swollen shut to see it – and perhaps it is this subconscious memory that magnifies her empathy to want to help others. When asked why she wants to do this (and it was her own idea!), she replies "it's just a kind thing to do mummy". Ah. Love.
You are absolutely welcome to leave words of encouragement and praise for Juliette to spur her on (she will be thrilled and no donation necessary to leave a comment). If you are able to make a donation then we thank you on behalf of GOSH and all the families who will directly benefit and will undoubtedly be grateful for your support!
(Super Juliette will be donating 10 inches / 25 cm of her hair to the Little Princess Trust and raising money for GOSH, 2019)
Many many thanks!
Love Juliette and her Team Goodman x
PS - We will post photos of 'the cut' and hair ready to donate at the soonest. Aiming for a hair appointment late June!
PPS - The cover photo is Juliette with her younger sister Cosima, who is also wanting to donate her hair too! It needs to grow a bit longer - but it goes to show that kindness is contagious! :)
