Ponytails for cancer research

-

Horsham Holy Trinity Lutheran College student Jessi Toet has followed through on her moneyraisi­ng pledge to cut off a 35-centimetre length of hair for Cancer Council research.

The year-nine student, from Dimboola, had two-year’s growth snipped at a school assembly, capping-off her summer-long fundraisin­g campaign.

She will donate her chopped locks to Sustainabl­e Salons, which will distribute the ponytails to people with cancer and alopecia.

Jessi’s accumulati­ve campaign has raised $1900 so far, with more donations expected in the coming days.

People can donate online at fundraisin­g.cancer vic.org.au/fundraiser­s/jessitoet.
