On Thursday 7th August 2025, I will be cutting and donating my hair to The Little Princess Trust, a charity based in the UK. The hair will be used to make a wig for a child who has lost their own hair through cancer treatment or another condition such as Alopecia.

By the time I cut my hair, I will have been growing it for 948 days! On 2nd January 2023, I got a buzz cut (near bald) and I've not cut it since. It has been a fun journey of awkward hair styles, and more recently a dedication to conditioner and man buns.

I was inspired to grow my hair and donate it because I've seen the difference it makes to those who need a wig. This was certainly true for my mum during her cancer treatment; the quality of life difference she experienced was remarkable!

I wanted to use this opportunity to fundraise more broadly; it is important for me to raise money for charities that resonate with my friends and colleagues in Poland (and beyond). I chose PAH because their impact is vast and wide-reaching. They provide humanitarian assistance (such as food, water, healthcare, and shelter) to crisis victims in a number of countries including Ukraine, South Sudan, and Lebanon. They also directly support Polish people: for example, their "Pajacyk" program provides meals and mental health support to underprivileged Polish youth. Furthermore, I chose PAH because they are impartial; they support people regardless of their background, race, nationality, or religion. They are a non-governmental organisation driven solely by practical and humanitarian principles.

Alongside this, I am fundraising for two other charities: Medecins Sans Frontieres and The Little Princess Trust (see the links below). I have enjoyed raising money for charity before and I'm hoping this will be my most successful fundraiser yet. I wish to raise a combined total of 15000zł (3000 GBP or 3500 EUR) across the three charities. I need your support to achieve this goal!

Dziękuję za poświęcony czas i uwagę! Każda darowizna jest dla mnie ważna i naprawdę ważna dla tych, którzy jej potrzebują.
