Abi's Cut for Cancer

By Abigail Tham

I’m doing it for cancer!

Hi, I'm Abi!

I’m challenging myself to cut my hair to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future.Β πŸ©·βœ‚οΈπŸŽ—οΈ

Because 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, I’m losing my locks to raise funds and show my support.Β 

My goal is to raise $5,000 for cancer research, cancer prevention programs, and support services for those affected by cancer.


You see, I never fully understood the impact of cancer until my grandpa passed away from cancer when I was just 6 years old. It was very sudden because by the time he was diagnosed, the cancer had spread to both his stomach and liver and he became terminal.

Even though I was very young at the time, I saw how cancer shifted and changed the life of my grandpa and those supporting him. Cancer took a toll and he unfortunately declined in health and was gone after just 1 month and 7 days. I knew that he loved us and that he loved God and I saw how my family clung to that truth and were brought together even more, even at his passing.


That was 14 years ago.

In remembrance of my grandpa and other family members, I want to do my part in helping give someone the gift of a second chance.Β 

But I need your help.


Any donation, no matter the size, will make a difference for people affected by cancers across Australia.Β 

Support my cause! Donate online now! πŸ™ŒπŸŽ‰


P.S The top 3 highest donors receive a ponytail cut in their name and a mention during my facebook live on Cut Day!

Hi Abigail, What a lovely thing to do. I lost both my parents to cancer and, although there have been medical advances that have increased survival rates, cancers are increasingly prevalent in younger and younger people. All best wishes

Hi Abigail! I really resonate with you and your grandpa’s story, I lost my grandmother to stage 4 pancreatic cancer as well and it was also very sudden as she was diagnosed during the last stage. I don’t have much but just wanted to show my support for you and for this cause!
