raised so far: $453.43 I usually have my hair at my chin, but
in 2003 I started growing my hair out for a mission trip. My thinking was, if
it's long enough I can just throw it back in a ponytail and just not mess with
it. Once I got back, I was talking with a friend about how I was considering cutting
my hair. She recommended that I wait and let it grow out some more because it
was almost long enough to give to "Locks of Love." A friend of hers
had just gone through chemotherapy and lost all her hair so it was fresh on her
mind. I thought it was such a great idea so I agreed. I just kept letting it grow.
Then I heard about Shear Hope from Jade on 89.7 Power FM. All I could think was
"That is amazing!" I've never been more sure that I wanted to do something
as I have been about this. I love that it is help in three ways. First, much needed
financial help is raised for families who go through the trails that come with
cancer. Second, my hair will be used for wigs that will go to those who have lost
their hair through a disease such as cancer. Third, I will be a walking encouragement
to others that says, "people care about those who are hurting because of
that illness." I've never been more excited about anything in my life!
