Why? To be honest I haven't been so introspective to give you a detailed answer other than I feel it is important to do. Like most people in this world my life has been touched by cancer. Not personally mind you. I have never had a cancer scare. My grandfather had liver cancer and he ultimately passed in part because of it - he lived a full life and wasn't nearly as afflicted by it as some people are. A friend of mine from college, her mother is battling a relapse of cancer right now. You can follow her story here. Overall, I think that I just want to help someone feel good about themselves during this time. Now for some that doesn't mean a wig, but for some it truly does and for that person I'm happy to be able to do what I can.
So after measuring, researching where to donate, and discussing with the husband the best post-donation hair-do; I made my appointment and headed to the salon with my son and friend Stacy to make the cut. Ace did very well only fussing toward the end - he was content with Stacy holding him. When I was all done and ready to go I went to hold Ace and he wouldn't come to me - he clung to Stacy and his little mouth pouted and his eyes started to well up, he didn't recognize his mommy. It only took a moment or two for him to adjust, and he seems to be more than fine now.

Love the new cut!
You look so cute!
I'm supposed to be doing this in a couple of weeks for our school's cancer assembly. I haven't died my hair for a looong time, but the bottom is still remnants of my old colored hair...does this disqualify me?
that is so awesome! Your hair looks so cute! Guess what you won the featured reader contest at my site!
I like it! Looks good!
CUTE! I love it! And that was an awesome thing to do.
It looks great and it is for a great cause! Well done
I love the new cut...perfect for summer!
I, too, have always wanted to donate my hair...and though it is long it just seems to stop growing at a certain point that is just a bit too short for the required length of donation...ugh!
I wanted to donate mine so badly but also have dye in it. Apparently when they process the hair for the wig, if it's been bleached, it just disinegrates :( I recently chopped about 8 inches off anyhow...good for you for donating!

We agree....love the cut!!!! You look so grown up you make me feel old:( Love ya
Wow. You look great with short hair! But I can imagine it still must have been a sacrifice to cut it! EEEK.
My mom is actually having a cancer scare. The bumps are still small, and hopefully they'd still go away. I don't want to lose another loved-one because of that darn sickness. I lost my grandfather to cancer 2 years ago..
