Miss Peg will be donating her hair to make a wig for someone in need.
Peg Lynch, affectionately known as ‘Miss Peg’, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While she prepares herself spiritually for her final journey, she wants to do one last act of charity.
Peg wants to donate her hair, so that it may benefit another and at the same time raise some funds to assist Parkes CanAssist, an organisation that quietly assists so many affected with cancer.
Peg, who has been a teacher all her life, earned the name ‘Miss Peg’ during her time at Parkes Early Childhood Centre and as director at Peak Hill, with the little ones she loved dearly.
She has been known for her many acts of charity as a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society at local, regional, central and state levels. During the drought period, she travelled, with her husband, ‘Mr Peg’, throughout the Diocese of Wilcannia Forbes, offering support and assistance.
Her contribution to her Church, particularly, as a musician and singer is noteworthy.
Recently, during the Easter ceremonies, she was labelled as having the voice of an angel. Peg is also a foundation member of the Parkes Prostate Cancer Awareness and Support Group.
On Saturday, August 31st , Peg, with the assistance of Janice, from Janice Hair Salon, and Adele from Adele’s Hair Salon, will have her hair cut and donated for the purpose making a wig for someone in need. At the same time, she hopes to raise funds to assist others with cancer, through Parkes CanAssist.

Peg’s baptismal name is Margaret Josephine. When her mother was told by an old Irish priest that there was no ‘Saint Peg’, well, there is always hope?
