We're rocking the chop to put a stop to cancer!
On the 16th of November, our year 12 Loreto College students will be Rocking the Chop to help put a stop to cancer and give back to our community.
Did you know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?
Together we will raise funds for Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign to support people impacted by cancer.
Throughout the year, our students will be growing their hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Australia, before chopping off their ponytail and rocking a brand new hairdo. Every ponytail chopped will make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer #chopforchange.
All funds raised will go towards essential cancer support services, prevention programs and lifesaving research. This means everything from transport to get cancer patients to and from their medical appointments, to assisting childcare facilities to keep kids safe from the sun.
I know that I can help create change.
Will you support me?
You can find out more about where your donations go at ponytailproject.com.au/about-cancer-council.
Thank you!
Kind people are my kind of people!
