I'm fundraising to help sick kids and their families.

By Sarah Wilkinson

I'm shaving my head and going rainbow for sick kids and their families!

Giving the gift of treasured memories to families with a sick child is a gift close to my heart. Not only do I have to joy of working for Ronald McDoanld Family Retreat in Forster, but I have also experienced the loss of a child due to a serious illness and know how much these memories can mean to a family.  So to help raise funds for Ronald McDonald Family Retreat, I've offered to shave my head. And then, to add a little bit of Izzy-inspired flair, I'll colour it Rainbow.

Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club are hosting a fundraiser, in support of one of their members Helen Townsend who offered to shave her head to raise money for the Family Retreat in Forster. Inspired by her courage, I thought I would help her out and shave my head too.

During my own daughter's cancer journey, we met many children impacted by cancer. Chemotherapy is a lifesaving treatment for many children, but it can bring with it side-effects that have a huge impact on the body. Some are short-lived, like losing hair, but others are lifelong. But throughout it all these children always kept a smile on their faces, tackling each challenge with bravery and as much strength as they had. 

I'm shaving and colouring my hair in honour of these kids. As well as my own daughter Izzy, you inspire me every day to be a better person. 

By donating, you can help give the gift of a much-needed break away at the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat. Any family who has a sick child, palliative or bereaved can access a week's free holiday in beautiful Forster. A time to relax, reconnect and make precious memories. 
 
You can donate below and be sure to come along to the Tuncurry Bowling Club on Sunday 27th of August at 4pm to watch Helen and I lose our locks. 
 
Thank you for helping sick kids and their families.
