Cancer for me has always been a scary thing to face, understand and even consider going through. Its something I wouldn't even wish upon the worst of enemies and the mere thought of it affecting my friends or my family or a child, brings a tear to my eyes. Kids are so innocent, so young and none of them deserve to go through any chemo, surgery, or pain. They deserve to live long lives like so many of us are blessed to have. They deserve to be happy, they deserve to smile, they deserve the world. Now thats where this all comes into play for me and strikes me at my hearts core. There's really nothing more that I love in this world than my 7 year old brother, Matthew. Although he isn't sick or in danger of being a cancer patient I worry and I cry thinking that anything like this would ever happen. He, like many other kids in this world epitomize everything that is amazing in life. Simplicity, always smiling, always loving, never angry, and without a care in the world. He teaches me things I never knew I could learn, he gives me patience, love, and joy. For that alone the smallest of gestures is merited. For that alone, kids everywhere deserve this. As much of a struggle its been to care for the hair, comb it, wash it, its all been completely worth it. I havent cut my hair off in almost 2 years, with the last time being baldricks in 2010. Obviously my hair is long and obviously I intend to donate what I can and all I ask for is your help. Whatever you can give is amazing, whatever you give makes an incredible difference in a childs life.
