I'm rocking the chop on 14/10/2026

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!

Why I’m donating

Tuesday 22nd Sep

On the 14th of October, I’m chopping my hair for cancer. 

Cancer has touched the lives of so many people I love, including my dad, so this cause is incredibly close to my heart. I wanted to do something small that could make a difference, whether that’s through raising money or donating my hair to help someone feel beautiful and confident during such a difficult time.

Everyone deserves to feel like themselves, and if losing my hair can help someone else feel a little more like themselves, then it’s a sacrifice I’m more than happy to make. 💗

Here’s to a shorter haircut, a good cause and making a little difference.
