Sheffield charity kicks off a new online challenge set to go viral

A NEW charity based in Sheffield set up to fund 100% of the cost of human hair wigs and hairpieces for medical hair loss sufferers has kick-started a new online challenge.

They got the challenge underway at the start of June by wearing silly wigs at work for the day to raise awareness and funds so that the charity can provide human hair wigs and hairpieces to cancer and alopecia patients suffering from medical hair loss.

The charity’s founder Rachel Burgin told Look Local: “Wear a wig to work day is designed to have fun at work with colleagues at the same time as raising funds and awareness for the charity.

“It is much needed as there is little to no funding of its kind available for medical hair loss patients so we hope to change this with the help of the rest of the U.K. The dream is that wear a wig to work will go viral so we can really make an impact.”

Taking part in the challenge simply involves wearing a silly wig to work and uploading your photos to your social media pages and nominate your friends to take on the challenge, not forgetting to add the link for donations.
