Standing before her classmates, the year five student from Shoalhaven Heads Public School had 36 centimetres chopped on Tuesday, March 6.
Rhiannon raised more than $1000 for Variety – The Children’s Charity and donated her hair to an organisation that makes wigs for children who’ve lost their hair either through treatment for cancer or those suffering from alopecia.
Her classmates supported her fundraising journey on Tuesday, March 6 by sporting some wild hair styles on ‘Crazy Hair Day’ and donating a gold coin.
Rhiannon’s brother and sister and parents each took a turn at cutting Rhiannon’s hair.
While she’d been growing her hair for more than four years, Rhiannon said she was happy to see it find a new home.
“It’s a good thing to do,” she said.
