We're rocking the chop to put a stop to cancer!
Did you know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?
We're taking part in Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign to raise funds that will support people impacted by cancer.
Throughout the year, we will be growing my hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Australia, before chopping off my 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.
We know that we can help create change.
Will you support us?
You can find out more about where your donations go at ponytailproject.com.au/about-cancer-council.
Thank you!

Good work Ivy, I would offer to give 25 cm of my hair too but I don't have that much either and no one wants grey/white hair for their wig ;-) Good luck raising as much as you possibly can you are awesome.

Ellyse, I commend you and your Friends for your efforts in raising awareness for this dreadful journey of Cancer so many, of all ages need travel. Hoping this small amount of help will allow another to feel whole again, with a wig or a pigtail as lovely as you and your friends. It’s the little things hey darling, that mean the most. Love and Respect to you, Your Friends, your dear Parents, your Brother and Sister Lxxxxx🧡
