Oh Crap!! I lost 11 inches.
 
Some of you know my friend Sharon was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy on Wednesday. During the process she lost all of her hair and now wears a wig. I decided to cut my hair and donate it to Locks of Love. They make wigs for kids suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Here is Sharon and I.

Getting ready to make the cut.

One cut down one to go.

The finished product. There is a strip on pink on the side for Sharon.

That's outstanding!~ My wife had a bone marrow transplant 8 years ago and her hair never grew back. The hair she has now someone like you donated.

That is a great gesture Kristin!! That is true friendship! Several years ago I shaved my head to support a friend going thru chemo. I found out I have one ugly shaped head.

May I echo all the kudos of those who proceeded me here, and also compliment your new summer look. I wish I had 11 inches to lose. :tu



Uh, wait a minute . . . lemme rephrase that. I wish I had that much to donate.
