Megan had donated her hair at the Relay for Life event her freshman year. I thought that was such a wonderful thing that she did and figured, "Why not try that myself." It took a bit longer to grow enough length, but the long hair coupled with the recent hot temps expedited my decision.
Funny story about this: Bridget was devastated at first. She thought, when I first mentioned donating my hair, that I would look like Greg. She cried and panicked and told me repeatedly not to do it - that I would look weird! So I managed to convince her that I would not look weird, that I would still have hair, and it would be great if she held my hand while the stylist cut my hair. I originally planned on donating at this year's Relay for Life event, but they didn't offer the hair donation service this year - bummer. So we made a date Tuesday night with the salon and wow, what relief! I feel like a new person and lighter to boot! And yes, she held my hand and, best of all, she said I didn't look weird. The end.
