Locks of Love

Dear all

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, understanding the road ahead would be tough, I also knew losing my hair would be part of that journey and  also  knew the impact that would have on me and my confidence, especially after witnessing my mum go through cancer and the effect treatment had on her.  So I decided to shave my head rather than witness clumps of it falling out,  own it. I then started thinking about all the children out there who suffer hair loss through illness and disease, so decided that I would shave my hair off and raise money for Locks of Love.  Locks of Love are a charity organization who help financially disadvantaged children suffering hair loss.  So, would you like to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Locks of Love, Inc. (Lol), and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Locks of Love, Inc. (Lol): Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers. Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge.
