Dread Lop for Mater Miracles

By Benjamin Matthews

EVENT & SPONSOR UPDATE

Event - Sunday 24th @ Happy Dayz Cafe, Loganholme 10am. Gold coin donation raffle & snow cones!! For every coffee purchased on the day, $1 will be donated by Happy Dayz Cafe! Come down and support! 

I myself was a Mater Miracle, born at only 29 weeks weighing 875 grams! Thanks to the dedicated doctors, nurses and of course my loving parents, I pulled through and I'm here today because of them! 

I spent 92 days in there and on day 10 I had to have heart surgery. Once released, I was taken back in 1 month later with pneumonia and a collapsed lung. I lived on oxygen until I was 1 year old with the constant support of my worried family and the amazing hospital staff. It's a miracle that I'm alive today and it's all thanks to Mater Miracles.

I'm now 33 years old and I've been growing my dread locks for the last 14 years! Recently I welcomed my son into the world and the time has come to lop the dreads off, so we can have matching hair cuts of course!

I couldn't think of a more meaningful charity to support in my case, as these people saved my life.

Join me on Sunday the 24th March when I get my dreads lopped! 

Event will be in Loganholme (TBC) with a sausage sizzle and raffle to lop a dread! 

Will you support me in hitting my 9200 goal? Or can we beat it!! 💪👶
