3quartertime Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Assuming this is somewhat accurate. You've donated 5 feet of hair. If hair grows about 7 inches a year, but you have to cut it once a month or so say you get about six inches a year. That's 10 full years you've dedicated to this cause or about a third of your life so far. Very impressive!!! Don't think I've ever seen a picture of you with short hair, but it suits you very nicely.

What a cool way to look at it! That's about right. I started back in 1998. The longest I have donated was 14 inches. Adding it all up it's just shy of 5 feet. Thanks for the compliment. I haven't had it this short since junior high. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Julie: Congrats to you for your donations. Your new haircut looks great If you have seen what the donation goes to and how it makes the people feel you would appreciate it even more(maybe you have that's why you do it). We used to do a Christmas thing for the childrens hospital in Corpus Christi and to see how those young kids get so much joy with there new hair. It put s smile on your face when you see what a little hair can do for someone. I also saw the effects of this when my dad got sick. The others on the floor really appreciated it as well. Julie you are a saint and it will bring lots of joy to others at this time of year and there families. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had several members of family struggle with the effects of chemo as well. I can't even imagine how challenging it must be for kids to go through cancer or hair loss disease before they are completely comfortable with who they are. Appreciate the kind words. Happy holidays everyone! Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablodawg Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That is awesome- wish I could donate, but alas; MCO P1020.34G Ch.5, (1), (a). Could do 3 inches, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kane Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Very cool. I really admire you for doing it. What amazes me is how much hair it takes to get 12". It looks like so much more than that when you're wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic_jon Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Awsome and congratulations! keep it up! They call an Ex GF of mine once a year to check if she is ready. She has copper red hair that is really hard for them to find and donates 12 to 16" each time for the last 10 years or so. Her hair grows fast too!
