Yes...I donated my hair and it was a great feeling.

Edited to add: Yes, I did submit this hoping to be published again. Crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath.

Journaling reads: MY GIFT OF LOVE

It pains me to know that a disease as ugly as Cancer is not picky about age. I know how horrible it is for one to suffer through Chemotherapy because I saw my father lose his battle in September 2004. I am truly blessed that my children have not been subject to this monster illness, but I know others have not been so lucky. The children that have Cancer amaze me. They are very brave and truly wonderful despite the complications they go through in everyday life that many take for granted. I would take the disease myself if I knew I was sparing a child’s exposure.
I have always wanted to do something, anything to help, but never knew I could until I heard about the Locks of Love Foundation. I knew instantly that this was what I could and wanted to do. I found out that you had to donate at least 10 inches of hair. I knew my hair was close. I went to Great Clips the very next day. I said, “Take as much as you can!!!” I was pleased to know that I was able to share 12 inches of my hair so that a child struggling to live was able to at least have hair once again. The little that I was able to give touched others, too. My gift of love enticed 2 of my friends to donate their hair as well. Hopefully, their stories will keep the chain of love going. It’s the least we can do.
