Locks of Love
I just cut my hair off again for Locks of Love. Thirteen and a half inches this time. It's been a few summers since I last did it; my father-in-law inspired me after he grew a tail for the program after he himself beat several forms of cancer (with <1% odds of survival...).
Locks of Love is a charity program that provides free wigs for children who have lost their hair to cancer treatment. Madoc gave up the first time he tried to grow his hair out because people kept mistaking him for a girl, but he decided to do it again and made us proud the weekend of his 8th birthday (April 2005). Since then he's stuck to the "boy" hair cuts, LOL!
I think I have these compulsions to do charitable acts when my life isn't going so well. Like I'm trying to reassure myself that I can do things when stuff depresses me. I learned after leaving the SCA on a hiatus (I'm still happier out of it than in) that I still needed to give stuff away even when I couldn't do scrolls any more...
