I'm rocking the chop on 18/09/2025

I'm rocking the chop to support anyone fighting the battle of cancer!

A diagnosis is incredibly hard for patients and their whole family. It impacts so many, and I have watched close family members, including my Pop, fight and sadly lose their battle. My nanna is currently undergoing treatment for the third time, and her hair is a massive part of her personality. Wigs provide happiness in such a dark time, and I can make a difference in people's lives by donating my hair so they feel more like themselves. You can make a difference too; any donations are greatly appreciated.

Did you know that 1 in 2 Queenslanders will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?

I’m taking part in Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign to raise funds that will support Queenslanders impacted by cancer.

Throughout the year, I’ll be growing my hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Queensland, 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 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.

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!
