Elli’s Big Chop

By Elli Reschke

I'm raising money to help relieve the financial burden from families that have a child being treated for a cancer diagnosis.

In June 2023, Elli and I saw a child Elli’s age on my Facebook feed going through cancer.

She turned to me and said “oh mum that’s so sad that they have to go through cancer and loose their hair as well, I think want to grow mine and donate it to go towards making wigs for them”

What a heart of gold our Elli belly has and has been 100% committed to growing her hair, even to the point of telling our hair dresser to “only trim and I mean trim it”

So she’s  cutting her hair to fundraise to support the creation of bespoke wigs for children, provide essential financial assistance to families in need, and funding within paediatric oncology hospitals across the country, ensuring that every child facing cancer receives the care and support they deserve.

Please support Elli in her fundraising journey, together we can make today easier for kids with cancer and their families.

The BIG Chop is happening on the 20th November 2025!

With only 4 sleeps to go before the big chop, I’m feeling so happy that I’ve been able to do this for all those that are needing this support.
I’m feeling all the feels, excited, nervous but the one that stands out for me the most is proud!

It’s officially reached the bottom!
