TWELVE-year-old Glass House Mountains local Aimee Augustin recently had most of her (very long) hair cut off as part of the Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project to raise funds for cancer patients.
When Aimee was quite young her dad had cancer and, from her family’s first-hand experience, she understands the importance of the Cancer Council’s ongoing research and support.
After years of growing her hair purely for this reason, Aimee is happy that her hair will be used to make a wig for someone going through cancer treatment.
Aimee was also really pleased that she raised more than $1,000 with the support of family and friends.
