Hayley had her first real haircut today, and she made us very proud. Her school had a big event to support Locks of Love/St. Baldricks. She decided she wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for kids that have lost their hair due to disease or chemotherapy. Hair donations have to be a minimum of ten inches, so she knew her hair was going to end up pretty short, but she really wanted to do this. Not only did she donate her hair, but she got sponsors and raised $140 for the charity as well. We may be biased, but we think Hayley's a pretty amazing kid!
On her way to the multi-purpose room for the big haircut!
This is the group from Hayley's class that participated in the event. She and the other little girl, Destiny, each donated ten inches of hair. The boys (including Hayley's teacher in the middle here) each shaved their heads to support St. Baldricks. Although their hair could not be donated, they raised money through sponsors to donate to the charity. The boy on the left, Colby, raised over $1000!
On the stage!
Getting the hair prepped!
Going, going...
Gone!
Hayley and Mr. Shadbourne with their new 'dos!
The local news station covered the event, and Hayley was live on the news at noon!
