A Shave to Remember

By Patrick Golden

Help me make it meaningful

In early 2022 my now 15 year old son Patrick asked if he could grow his hair to donate to be made into a wig? I of course said yes. 


While he did not want to raise funds in the beginning, he changed his mind after a tragedy which had a significant effect on him. Seeing how mental health issues do not only effect the person living with them, but entire families, he decided that he wanted to raise money to help and raise awareness of mental health issues, and so ‘A Shave to Remember’ was born. 

The hope behind his fundraiser is to remember those that have been lost, to remind people there is help available and to make mental health less of a taboo subject.

Now that Patrick has almost reached his target and set a Shave Date (22nd September) it’s time to really start fundraising. With a target of $2000 Patrick is almost there. 

We are planning a small plant sale and a few other little fundraisers as well as collecting cans and bottles for recycling (if anyone would like to get rid of theirs let me know)

As an extra incentive if Patrick can double his target (to $4000) by 6th October I (his mum) will get my hair cut (not shaved) to donate to Variety-Hair With Heart. And there’s more… If Patrick can get to $6000 before 20th October his dad will get his chest and back waxed!

Hair is going to Variety-Hair With Heart .

With the help of family, friends and of course our most generous community anything is possible and greatly appreciated.


Please donate now. Thank you.

Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement! Yesterday I finally got my hair shaved, but that’s not the end… As over $4000 was raised, Mum is booked in to donate her hair in October. Now the challenge, if I can reach $6000 by 20/10 Dad will be publicly getting his chest and back waxed…….

Thanks
