New hair


After growing her hair for about 19 months, Avery was finally able to donate 11" to Locks of Love. When she learned of her little friend (who is now in remission!) having a brain tumor and then losing all her hair to chemo she was convinced she would grow it out long enough to be able to donate. And she ended up with an extra inch (you have to have 10" minimum). Since then she has learned of my 2 cousins fighting cancer and losing their hair too, so this was extra special to her. We are proud of her for having this long term goal and achieving it! And you look fantastic in your new "do", Avery!

Gosh, I didn't realize Avery's hair was that long. What a wonderful thing to do.
Love, Mom
