Hey, I'm EGM.
Found out about this place whilst looking for a charity to fundraise for. I'm cutting my hair, which is like 90 cm long and any money I raise is donated to here. I also thought I'd get involved here as it looks good and it's always good to connect with other people. I look forward to discussing things and getting any support when needed. :)

    Welcome @EGM, it’s great to have you here :) 

    Aww, what a lovely thing to do with the fundraising - my older sister did that one time, she grew her hair really long and then raised money to get it cut off and donated her hair (and the money) to a cancer charity.

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
