I'm rocking the chop on 12/05/2026
I've decide to rock the chop to raise money for those undergoing cancer treatment who don't get to have that choice
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!

Dear Joy, As a cancer survivor myself I have huge admiration and appreciation for what you are doing. Luckily I didn't have to wear a wig, but in the early stages I thought I would, so I understand how powerful your contribution would be to those in need. Well done in giving up your beautiful hair!
