I'm rocking the chop on 09/05/2024
I'm cutting 40cm of hair in memory of my late Uncle Patty and Aunt Sarah who both lost their lives to cancer at a young age. Their strength and courage is my motivation to help make a difference to those who are living with cancer and their loved ones.
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!

Sophia you are amazing. Donating your hair for a worthy cause. You will help people get their dignity back. Make them feel a little normal after all that they have gone through with chemo and all the rest. I’m sure that Uncle Paddy and Aunty Sarah are so proud and smiling down on you. Also your cousin Sarah and my Mum Mary.
