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.

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!

My Updates

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

Monday 4th May
In Australia, around 2 in 5 people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer by age 85. Hair can be such a big part of someone’s identity, and losing it due to cancer can be really impactful.  By cutting my hair I hope to help those affected feel more like themselves again, reminding them that they are supported, cared for, and not facing it alone xx
