I'm rocking the chop on 10/09/2025

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

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.

Since Year 9 (2022), I’ve been growing my hair with the intention of donating it — not for a style change, but for something bigger than myself. This year, I’m finally making that chop. It's something I’ve been waiting to do for years, and I’m proud to be doing it with a team that’s just as passionate.

Our team at Trinity Anglican School is called Hair to Heal Hearts, and we’re aiming to raise $30,000 — a goal that reflects how much we care, and how much we believe in change.

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?

Thank you!

Kind people are my kind of people!
