Tom's Ponytail Donation & Head Shave

By Thomas Ball

I’m doing it for cancer!

Hi, I'm Thomas and I'm 10 years old. I've been growing my hair for over 2.5 years now.

I’m challenging myself to shave my hair to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future, and donate my ponytail to help create wigs for cancer patients.

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.

This is a cause close to my heart. My Shellharbour Sharks JRLFC teammate's mum, Emma,  went through her cancer journey a few years ago and lost her hair during treatment.

Please sponsor me to support cancer research and provide vital services for Australians living with cancer.

Thank you for your generous donation. Together, we can free the future from cancer.

I will be cutting my ponytail and shaving my head on Friday 24 April 2026 during the whole school assembly. We are hoping to hold a crazy hair day for all the students at my school to raise additional funds towards my cause.
