Locks of Love

While I'm talking up family this week, here's one more story for you all. Last week my nieces Molly and Erin got their hair cut. And they really took a lot off. Here's they are before:


Molly.


Erin.

And after:


Fabulous.

They took 5 inches off of Erin's hair, and 8 inches off of Molly. And on a number of occasions like this they've taken that hair and donated it to a program called "Locks of Love." Locks of Love uses children's hair to create wigs for kids that are sick and have lost their own hair for some reason.

If you're interested, here's the website for Locks of Love. It's the sort of charity that you don't think about, but can be a great support for sick kids.

And here's a link for Pantene, which does something similar for women. They require longer lengths, I think; Molly was excited because she had cut off enough to donate to Pantene this time around.

And speaking of hair...
