Hair Cut Fundraiser
Hair Cut Fundraiser
Áine is a 12 year old girl from Johnstown Village, Navan who attends Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital for her seizures. On one of Áine’s appointments she met some of the children from St Johns Ward. This experience had a huge impact on Áine and she decided she wanted to help these children in some way. She decided she would cut her hair and donate it to make wigs for children who have lost their hair through chemotherapy or alopecia. She also thought why not raise much needed funds for the families of the children of St Johns Ward and so she decided to fundraiser for Aoibheann’s Pink Tie.
