Sienna had been growing her 'do for three years after her last cut went too short. While her 45-plus centimetre ponytail will be donated to help make a wig for a child who has lost their hair in illness, she wanted to make the moment count.
The Clunes primary pupil's fundraising target was $1000. Sienna tallied $4560.80 after raising awareness about Clunes and Creswick.
Sienna's mum Kayla Riley said it was a huge effort to pull off the actual cut with the last day of term changing in coronavirus response efforts - and Sienna was unsure she could maintain her long mane any longer. After school, Sienna went straight to the hairdresser for a tidy-up.
Sienna supports Shannon's Bridge in memory of her nan, who was unable to realise her wish to die at home.
