WSS Student Organizes Locks of Love Campaign

This year my aunt was diagnosed with cancer.  Over the past few months my mom, Lisa, has been helping her in more ways than you can count.  As I watched my mom perform all of these good deeds, I felt that I should do something to help cancer patients.  During my aunt's chemo therapy, she started losing her hair.  I thought that it must be so painful to be fighting cancer and watching your hair fall out.  That is why most cancer patients need wigs.  And the only way that wigs can be made, is by other people donating their hair.  So, I decided to start a hair drive.  We decided to donate the hair to Locks of Love because they make wigs for children.  Our hair drive was held on May 20th.  It turned out to be a huge success!  Fifty-seven students, parents and teachers donated their hair.  From those fifty-seven ponytails, only about six wigs can be made.  That is why it is extremly important to donate your hair.  So, as soon as your hair is long enough please donate it to Locks of Love. It will guarantee a smile on a sick child's face!
