I'm rocking the chop on 29/11/2025
There has to be a cure and I want to help find it!
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.
Personally cancer has been a part of my family. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when he was in his mid-40's. My grandad died due to throat cancer. On my wife's side her Nanna, sister, and dad have also been affected by cancer. I have had long hair since moving to Australia and I believe this cause is an extremely worthwhile reason to cut it short!
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!
