a show of support

I do not profress to know, nor would I ever want to know, what it's like to be fighting a battle with cancer. My heart breaks everytime I hear of someone, and their loved ones, fighting this battle.

Each year, we always make a contribution in hopes that there will one day be a cure. In the meantime, I wanted to do one more little thing in hopes that my show of support may help just one person as they fight this horrible disease...

Yay - congrats Yvette!!! Eline did this in June, and I was originally going to let my hair grow long to contribute as well, but it wouldn't grow :( Speaking as someone who has seen a sister-in-law battle with Breast cancer, go through Chemo and Radiation and have to wear a wig, thank you very much for your donation. It really does make a difference! (any time of year )

I did this about 12 years ago and donated 9 inches of virgin hair. It felt so good to do! Congratulations! (You look cute!)

Hey Vet,

I'm trying to do the same thing, but still growing my hair over a year later!!!

Yvette - what a wonderful thing to do! I have seen many children go through cancer treatment, and losing their hair very traumatic for some of them - especially the teen-aged girls. Someone will have a beautiful wig because of you.
