Among the many emotional hurdles that those living with cancer must often face is the drastic change in their appearance if they lose their hair during treatment. After almost 20 years of having long hair, I'm cutting it short and will donate it to Hair We Share, a wonderful organization that provides high-quality wigs to people in cancer treatment.

In addition to donated ponytails, the organization needs cash to pay the artists who patiently hand-sew each hair to the wig. They give these wigs free of charge to children in need, and have a financial aid for adults in need. The cost of creating one wig can approach $1000. I'm hoping to raise at least a few hundred dollars to send in with my hair.

Can you help? I had the idea that if folks donated even one dollar per year you've known me with long hair, it could add up!  And those of you who remember the last couple of times I cut my hair short, maybe you'll throw in an extra dollar for good measure. :)
