A Wigs4Kids Champion with a Heart of Gold

Mary-Ann is an extraordinary mother whose journey with her daughter has inspired others to give. Last year, Mary-Ann’s daughter received a bespoke wig from Kids with Cancer Foundation while undergoing cancer treatment. The wig gave her back her hair, it restored her confidence, her smile, and the courage to step back into the world. 

In gratitude, Mary-Ann set out on a mission: to raise enough funds for one wig. Her determination and the power of community made something incredible happen, she raised an astonishing $13,659, which will go towards funding five more wigs for children in need.

Here’s a heartfelt message from Mary-Ann:

“I’m cutting my hair in honor of my daughter and her cancer journey. When she received one of these special wigs, it gave her the courage to leave her room, go to school, and feel a little more like herself. Today, she’s in remission and has been cancer-free for just over a year. I hope to help other families by funding more of these life-changing wigs and offering financial support to those in need.”
