Arabella

I'm rocking the chop on 06/08/2025

I’m rocking the chop to put a stop to cancer!

Hi friends 🐴

Some of you know me as  Arabella, some as Simon, and Mimi's daughter, and others as Scarlette and Jade's little sister.

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Ponytail Project to raise vital funds for Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign, which will support Queenslanders affected by cancer.

On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, I’m cutting my hair to make wigs for children and adults with cancer. I’ve been growing my hair for two years now, and it’s long and heavy!

I had to wait until my Cinderella ballet concert was over to kick off this fantastic project. 

So, what is the Ponytail Project?

It’s an incredible Australia-wide fundraising initiative that encourages students to form teams, grow their hair, raise funds, and then chop off their ponytails! 

The project started back in 2015 at St Margaret’s Anglican School in Brisbane, when a fantastic group of girls decided to make a difference for a parent in their school community who was diagnosed with cancer. Now, it’s a national fundraising event, and I really need your help to reach the leaderboard!

Here’s how you can help me reach my goal:

  • Share my online fundraising page with all your friends and colleagues! 

And if you know Taylor Swift, let's challenge her to join me!!!!

• Encourage everyone to make a difference!  

• Follow my journey online!  

• Join me! You can be part of my team, and together we can change someone’s life!  

• Sponsor me! Every dollar raised will help Cancer Council Queensland. And remember, all donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible.

#chopforchange.


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!
