Locks for love

After recieving the good news that I did not have cancer, I started thinking of all the unfortunate people and kids that get this horrible disease. There was an ad on tv for donating your hair for locks of love. My hair was down to my butt and I decided this was a small way to show my appreciation and help those in need at the same time. I had not had a haircut in almost 10 year so I was a little weary but I did it I donated 13 inches of my hair and feel great!

It does feel great I am used to donating blood and now this hair thing felt just great! Not too mention I got a hip haircut that my husband loves and says I look younger!

My daughter and I have both donated to Locks for Love.  The beauty shop I went to suggested it when I wanted to go from long hair to short hair several years ago.  It just gives you a nice feeling when you know you're doing something good for someone.

How inspirational!! My eldest daughter had leukemia when she was 3 1/2 and so for 2+ years, she was without hair, so I know exactly how what you just did - helps!!  I still remember the moment when the first fistfuls came out in my hands.  You've put in my mind that I should be thinking about giving back --- esp now that she is a young teen and the trauma if she were to lose her hair now would be horrendous.  I think in the UK alone every day - 13 teenagers are told they have cancer.  Big hugs!  : )   ps so very happy for you that you've got the all clear!!  Cheers with a cuppa from England!

What a great way to share in your great news.  It makes me want to do good things for others also.    I just found out yesterday that my nodules weren't cancer after having surgery on the 7th.  You are an inspiration. Jackie
