But now I'm like, I don't want to just do bonded wigs.
I want to provide funding for young women who have cancer to get a hair solution in any capacity because it's like,
such a thing like you lose so much of yourself when you're going through a treatment like my face was so swollen I couldn't fit into any of my clothes I just didn't recognize myself and I didn't even lose like my eyebrows or my lashes or anything like that and when I got the wig on I looked in the mirror I was like this is the first time in months I haven't just felt like a cancer patient like I felt like a person again and I was like oh and people don't

Like I'm really just like, again, take a messy first step rather than perfect it and like wait on it because it's just like, I need to do this now because I was so in the emotion.
So yeah, hopefully within the next like month or two, we have our first kind of fundraising events around Australia.
But for now, if you go to

Well, my God, I feel like I've lived like seven lives at this point.
