The local high school will participate in a St. Baldrick's "shave your head" fundraiser again this year. Last year, the small school of under 1500 raised over $23,000.
This year, my 15 year old daughter is going to participate, not by shaving her head, but by cutting off 8 inches of her hair, the minimum amount needed to donate to make a wig for girls who undergo chemotherapy. She doesn't have real long hair, she will not even have enough to pull back in a pony tail. Oh well. I am so proud of her. She will look much different, that's for sure, but hopefully one girl will have much more self-confidence having hair until her own grows back.
