OT: Locks of Love

My 13 yo dd, whose hair grows about as fast as a snail moves, cut off



11-1/2" of hair to donate to Locks of Love this weekend - and she didn't even cry about it! She now has about a chin length wedge. She looks adorable - and I'm really proud of her for being brave enough to go against the grain of all those straight, long parted in the middle looks to be uniquely herself!

She did it partly in recognition of her friend and swim team mate's sister, who had brain cancer. Fortunately, the treatment appears to have been successful and she is now in remission. But R benefitted from these wigs and A wanted to help someone else in the same situation.



Just had to brag!

Congratulations to a young lady with character, compassion, and true class! She did a wonderful thing, and you certainly have done well to have such a daughter! WOW

My DD Sarah has donated several times now and is about 8months from having enough to donate again. She started when she was 14 years old and is now int her late 20s. It can be a sign of growing up when they look to help others. Congrats to you and your DD. Bobbie V.

DD has a plan. For the last two years, at the first pep rally of the year, the high school has a Locks of Love donation. She's hoping to have enough to donate and enough to keep her signature braid.
