I'm rocking the chop on 15/01/2026
Zara and Stella are rocking to chop to support those affected by cancer
Did you know that 1 in 2 Queenslanders will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?
Zara and Stella have been growing their hair for the last 12 months so they can take part in Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign to raise funds that will support Queenslanders impacted by cancer.
Throughout 2025, they have grown their hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Queensland, before chopping off their ponytails 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 cancer research, prevention programs and support services. 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!
Kind people are my kind of people!
