Kimbies, year after year, grew her thick, auburn-brown hair out. Then she'd go down to the local salon & whack! 10" or more, she'd give them a pony-tail for Locks of LoveOf course, she did this long before cancer came knocking on her physical hearts' door.
Last year, I did the same for the first time.
Now, I find myself popping strange vitamins trying to grow my hair even faster, so I can do it again. (The girl at the salon said that it takes about a year[ha!] to grow the minimum required 10 inches)
My husband is growing his hair out too. (How does his seem to grow so fast?!)
This week-end we went to a party of old friends...people I've known for 25 years.
We talked about being hippies, getting older and growing long hair.
One guy said that finally working for himself, he would love to grow his hair long & with a smile, he pulled his baseball cap off to reveal his shiny bald head.
That's okay. Locks of love needs volunteers, sponsors and donations, as well. they need us to hang signs and pay for ads, promote their good cause.
Spread the word, pop your vitamins, grow your hair, contribute your time, your energy, your hair and/or your money.
Check out the pics...A little bit of hair goes a long
ways with these kidsBTW, Hair Cuttery charges you not one cent to get your hair cut, when donating to the Locks of Love. Aren't these children beautiful?

For those who currently do not have hair to grow & donate, I have some patchwork bandana's for you...olive & all! ILY
OK, I'm going today to Hair Cuttery. I'm taking a friend with me for moral support & hopefully to get her hair cut too.
you go girls!!!! Remember hair does grow back!!!! I encourage everyone to donate their hair, it is easy, feels good and grows back very fast!!! After going thru this chemo of mine, I do not see how children survive such toxic chemicals. But I do know that having a wig for a child would be something of great importance to a young beautiful girl. At such a young age it is hard for them to accept many of the side affects, to understand fully what is happening to them. They must feel as though they are normal while battling this cancer. they are of course the most couragious of all!!!
Kimbies summed it up there.
Grow that hair out folks!
