I'm so lucky to have full, thick, gorgeous, curly hair. I don't appreciate it as much as a should. When I was a kid, it annoyed me because it would get stuck in my armpits when I was trying to swim (was that just me by the way?).
I am so much luckier to not have been affected by childhood cancer. My mom tells me I cried when I got the shots for my vaccines. I cried when I visited my brother in the hospital when he had his appendix out because I was so terrified of hospitals and scared for my brother having to be in one. Hair loss wouldn't have bothered me as a child, but hospitals, needles, and not being able to go play outside certainly would have. My hair is such an insignificant thing to sacrifice, but my hope is that by doing so, you in your kind heart will donate money, to make the treatments these children go through more effective so that they can have a good childhood like I had, and make it into adulthood like I did.
I am going to not only shave my head, but grow my hair out until May 5th 2018, and post bathroom selfies (I hate bathroom selfies!) of my hair growth, to encourage all of you to please sacrifice just a little as well to donate to this very worthy cause. Every little bit helps, if all of my Facebook friends donate just $1, I'll be halfway to my goal!
