The Mt Mercer siblings had 37 centimetres of hair snipped off in front of a cheering Buninyong Primary School community.
The hair will be donated to the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Program (PCAP), which is part of Variety – the Children’s Charity’s initiative to support children with alopecia areata. It will be made into wigs for children with the condition, where hair is lost from areas of the body.
“We like the fact that we are helping others. We don’t want to receive anything. We just wanted to help,” Amelia, 11, said.
Claire, 8, said she was excited and nervous to have her hair cut.
The sisters, who had grown their hair for two years, collected gold coin donations in the lead up to the big cut and on the day.
Before the chop, they had raised $1308.
Vicky Plier said she was proud of her daughters’ passion to give back to the community.
