At midnight Friday night/Saturday morning, I chopped 11 inches of my hair off. I had decided about six months ago that I wanted to donate my hair to Beautiful Lengths but I felt as if that wasn't enough. Sure, I was excited that my hair could go on to be a wig for a special person, but I also wanted to raise money for cancer research. So I chose to cut my hair at Relay for Life.
I had originally planned to donate eight or nine inches, but once I saw how little hair that was I decided to go all out. I got up on stage and just like that, almost a foot of hair, gone in a flash! It was so refreshing!
The event itself was pretty fun! Unfortunately, there wasn't as big of a turn out as there have been in previous years. The event was also shortened this year from ending at 6 a.m. to 4 a.m. but who's complaining?!
According to the Shepherd University event page on the American Cancer Society's site, SU raised a total of $40,424 + some change!
Right after it was cut! ^^
And after I got it evened out at my salon :)
