"There have only been a few instances in my life when my hair hasn't been past my shoulders. I have always cherished having long hair and never thought I would be comfortable letting it go. However, when I heard about Shave for the Cure earlier this year, I was drawn to the cause. Growing up, I had known close friends and their family members who had cancer. I remember their stories: how the diagnosis affected both themselves and their families, the gruelling treatments, and the eventual loss of hair. So when I heard about this event, I thought back to their experiences and felt it was a great way to show my support and raise funds for cancer research. While initially hesitant to let go of my long hair, cutting it proved to be an amazing experience. I do hope that the eventual wig will bring some joy to a child with cancer and that the funds raised will help lead us to better treatment."
