This is my SIXTH year participating in this event!! Every year I have such fun and great support from people that I am going to keep doing it. It is for a great cause. So please give for the kids! That being said, my goal this year is only $500. I know that everyone is feeling the crunch with the economy and gas prices and such. But please, try to give whatever you can to these kids. They need all they can get.
Plus, there is always the fact that I look crazy with no hair!! :) And, what I found out and am reminded every year, is that it is cold!! Even with the warmer weather here in NC, it is still chilly with no hair. You would be surprised how much wind your hair blocks!! For this reason, I have not cut my hair since the Christmas holiday.
Starting the first year, I chose several young ladies from NC that reminded me in spirit, courage, or just their smile of my daughter Laura. I have continued that trend and continued to honor them again this year. I can speak as a fact that my daughter touched so many lives in her short stay on this earth and continues to this day inspiring others. Kids should not have to go through such things in their life and just be allowed to be kids. Anything that can be done to make it easier on them or get rid of this disease is great.
Plus, don't forget, the donation is tax deductible!!
