More from Margo
Don Day | May 28, 2008KTHI/107.1 K-Hits morning co-host has another blog entry – thanking folks for participating in the Race for the Cure. She notes that events like this do more than just raise spirits – they have a direct impact:
I now know first hand what good the monies raised from events like that do. A Stage 3 breast cancer years ago would have left me far worse for the wear if it weren’t for the tremendous strides in treatments they’ve made. And it’s not done without proper funding. Thanks to all those individuals and companies and the volunteers who raise those dollars
I have a 12 year old son that decided to grow his hair out after he started to understand that I grow mine out for donation. He has 11 or 12 inches and I have at least 12 that we can donate. Do you know what places do the locks for love or some kind of donations? My husband told me about your cancer and I pray for you and hope everything works out ok for you and your family. If you have any info that could help me please let me know, I’m new to the area
Thanx, Brandy
Brandy,
My neice did this and I’ll have to ask around to give you a contact. Give me a reminder by emailing me on our website khits.fm
Thanks for your prayers
I donated my hair through “Locks of Love” last year, and the good folks at Fantastic Sam’s were willing to do the honors free of charge. There is a form that you fill out and they send along with the hair – you can go to their website, which if I remember correctly is http://www.locksoflove.org, or they had one at the salon as well.
Now, having said this (and as I’m about ready to donate again), I’ve since heard that Locks of Love charges for the wigs they produce. I haven’t had the opportunity to verify if that’s true, and certainly if it is, I would not endorse them. But, I know there are other organizations that do similar good deeds.
Hope this helps! :) And Margo, thanks for continuing to be such a powerful motivation, and for kicking cancer’s bootie!!! Strength, peace, and love to you!
