Here's a little story that I wanted to share about a beautiful friend, Kathy, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and her very caring and loving godson, Luke who decided to cut his hair to raise money for cancer research and donate his hair to the Locks of Love.
Luke plays left wing with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Today I went to the university with Kathy and Luke's mom and sister to take pictures and cheer Luke on as he cut off his long blonde locks!
... this is Luke before the cut ...
... Kathy and Luke's Mom getting Luke's hair ready so it could be sent off to Locks of Love afterwards ...
... Kathy made the first cut ... followed by Luke's Mom, Breann (Luke's sister) and Marlin Muylaert (Luke's head coach) ...
... and here's the "after" picture!
Luke's hair was just about 12" when it was cut ... more than long enough to donate for a wig. Luke has been taking pledges for Cancer here and I believe that he has reached his goal of $3,000. Congrats Luke and Kathy!
Luke's hair cutting ceremony is on youtube ... you can see it here.
For anyone in the area that is interested, the Super Boobie Fairy's are hosting their 5th annual Crop for a Cure at Scrapbooking Queens this Friday. The 24 hour crop event is to support Breast Cancer research at Princess Margaret Hospital.
locks of love is a great organization and the people who donate their hair are awesome!! yay luke! and the cut looks GREAT!
