Mercedes College Chop for Cancer

By Ella Lech

I’m doing it for cancer!

On the 15th of May, I will be ‘rocking the chop’ by donating my ponytail to the 2025 Mercedes College Ponytail Project. This hair will help to craft wigs for those experiencing hair loss from cancer treatment and funding, reminding them that they're never alone in their fight. I am fundraising for this cause and would love your help to get to the College’s goal of raising $20,000!

My Gran was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is fighting to overcome the disease. I want to do something to help her through the stages of chemotherapy and be with her through the process. Any donation would be greatly appreciated!! 

Thank you to my Supporters
