Earlier this year the “Price Tag” hitmaker launched ‘Column Idol 2011,’ which encourage youth to pursue careers in journalism. Cutting her hair is a continuation of Jessie J inspiring individuals lives, “It’s hair. It will grow back. Even if it takes 2 years, if it saves lives it’s worth it. Even if it’s one life that’s something.”

Singer’s Decision
Singer Jessie J has announced that she will be shaving her head for charity. The news came as a surprise to many of her fans, who were stunned by the bold move.
The singer shared on social media that she was inspired to make the decision after watching an episode of David Bowie’s ‘Life On Mars’ in which he shaved his hair off for a role. She explained that it made her think about how difficult life can be and how important it is to give back when you have something to offer.
In order to maximize donations, Jessie J pledged to donate all proceeds from her upcoming single “Flashlight” to charities supporting those affected by cancer. She also encouraged others to join her and support the cause through their own ways, saying “We all have different strengths and talents – use them! Don’t feel like you need to look or act a certain way.” “Let’s all come together to help fight this battle against cancer and show our love and support for those affected.”
Fundraising Efforts
Jessie J has already begun her fundraising efforts, launching a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising £10,000 for cancer charities. The singer also took to Instagram to urge her followers to donate even small amounts in order to reach their target as quickly as possible. To date, over £4,500 has been raised and Jessie is determined to get the rest of the money within weeks.
The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive and many have joined the cause by donating or shaving their own heads in solidarity. This support has encouraged Jessie to raise her goal – firstly doubling it then setting an ambitious aim of reaching £100,000 in donations. She announced that she would be recording a new song with proceeds going directly towards this goal once they had reached it.
This project highlights how powerful philanthropy can be when supported by celebrities who are willing to go beyond simply lending their names; instead using their platform and influence to help others in need. With every donation made through Jessie’s GoFundMe page and single downloads, more lives will be impacted positively – something we all should strive for.
Conclusion
I’m so inspired by Jessie J’s decision to shave her head for charity. It shows us that anyone can make a difference and contribute in their own way. Not only is she donating money, but also giving up something precious: her hair.
The fundraising efforts have been incredible. Thousands of dollars have already been raised for the Little Princess Trust, which provides real-hair wigs to children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other illnesses. By shaving her head, Jessie J has managed to draw attention to this important cause, allowing more people than ever before to become aware and get involved.
It’s wonderful that someone with such influence as Jessie J is using it for good causes like this one. Her selfless act is an example to us all of how we can use our talents and resources to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I hope her story will encourage many others to do the same!
