Three and a half years ago, I cut my hair and donated it to Locks of Love in memory of my bestest friend, Vickie, who died of lung cancer. When we realized how sick John was and he shaved his head for surgeries, I decided to grow and donate my hair again. I waited until after my trip west because I knew we'd be hiking and I wanted to be able to put it up. My sister was all too happy to chop-chop the length and ship it off to be made into a wig for someone going through chemo or in need of the hair I could give.
It was another emotional, meaningful connection to John. Everyone in the shop knew why I was there and were encouraging and supportive of my new look. My plan is to grow and donate it again in a couple of years. There are stipulations for donating hair. If you are interested, check with your hair care professional.
