Kaz Foncette - Founder

Founder of Wigs for Heroes, Kaz was born and raised in Tottenham, North London.

After her second run in with breast cancer in January 2019, Kaz quit a career in HR to focus on not only her recovery but her charity. If she isn’t running around delivering Pamper Bags you’ll find writing for her local paper - The Tottenham Community Press - with her ‘The Frocking Cancer’ Column.

Kaz has also become an integral part of the online cancer community by having a voice online. Her role as a ‘cancer influencer’ and digital fashion content creator has landed her into modelling campaigns with established and start up brands across the world.
