In Jack’s honor.
In October 2009, my then-three-year-old cousin Jack was diagnosed with leukemia. You can read all about the trials and tribulations of his family dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and journey to remission (so thankful!) here.
Sixteen months later, I finally have enough hair to donate to cancer kids, and I look like me again.
And, I chuckle about the time when Kevin, Jack’s dad, saw me with shoulder-length hair and expressed his concern that I was letting myself go.
There’s a great resource on hair donation, including info on organizations and hair care here.
