Hope with Hair

By Zara Fernandes

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

When I told my 4 year old daughter about the joy of donating one’s hair for cancer research, it was amazing how she understood the meaningfulness in it. Her much loved  kindergarten teacher got diagnosed and Zara decided to get her long and lovely tresses chopped.

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

Thanks in part to generous Victorians, 7 in 10 of them will survive five years after a cancer diagnosis, but there’s still so much work to be done.

Cancer Council needs our support more than ever this year. Every dollar raised gives hope for a cancer free future. By supporting my event, you’re funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
