I cut off eight inches of hair this weekend (was actually four little ponytails) and sent it in to a program through Pantene. I love Pantene Beautiful Length's mission of helping women fighting cancer feel like themselves again and was excited to donate eight inches. There is something so refreshing and fun about a new 'do and I love being able to support an organization doing incredible work.
In the past, I have donated my hair both to Pantene's program and Locks of Love, which makes wigs for disadvantaged children under 21 who have permanent hair loss. I honestly usually make the choice based on how many inches I am comfortable donating at the time as Locks of Love asks for a minimum of ten inches of hair and Pantene asks for a minimum of eight inches.
I also decided in the spirit of giving to cancer-fighting organizations this week, I would take up the offer in our office building to take a new head shot to support Relay For Life, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. If you would like to donate to ACS through Relay For Life, my cousin Zoe will be walking at her university and would love a donation (click here to donate) to help everyone celebrate more birthdays. Check it out! #cancersucks
