Makenna’s big chop!

By Makenna Thornton

Dad’s beards going!

Dad has said if I can raise $10,000 he’ll shave his beard off!! 

Come on let’s get there!! 

Thank You

Thanks everyone who has donated so far. 
I can’t believe I made my goal already! 
Still plenty of time to donate! 

Wow

I can’t believe that in only 12 hours I am half way to my goal! 

Thank you Thank you Thank you 

I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’. 

My grandmother, who I called Nansie, was one of them this year.

Sadly, she lost her battle shortly after her diagnosis!

On Friday the 23rd of September, I am going to chop off my beautiful, long, curly, red hair to help raise funds for a better outcome for others.

Any donation big or small will help me honour my amazing Nansie!

Thank you! 

Mak :)
