Two Laois women have raised almost €3,000 in aid of two very special charities as they prepare to cut off their hair.
Friends Lindsey McFall and Amanda Lalor, who both hail from Portlaoise, plan to cut off around 20 inches of their hair.
All the money that the pair gather will be donated to the Kolbe Special School in Portlaoise.
While their hair will be donated to the Little Princess Trust which is a charity based in the UK.
Previously, they revealed that the cutting would take place on Facebook Live and now Lindsey has confirmed the details.
She said: “We have a date for the big chop.
“It’s this Friday, August 7, at 7pm during The Crooked Jacks Facebook Live gig in Lilly’s bar behind closed doors.
“We are just under €400 short of our target and it would be great if everyone could dig deep to give it that last push for Kolbe Special School.”
The pair are embarking on this incredible act of kindness just weeks after they both lost their jobs with Mothercare in Portlaoise following its closure.
While Amanda previously revealed that they are going to allow the person who donates the most amount of money the chance to cut their hair off.
She said: “For fun, we are offering the highest donor the chance to cut our hair off or to nominate someone they think should cut it, no professional training necessary.
“Please continue to share, every time you share the campaign it’s reaching someone else who could potentially donate.”
