Cutting our hair for cancer

My cousin Mieka and I recently lost our uncle Gerard to Neuroendocrine cancer after an 8-year battle. He was one of a kind and we all miss him so much, so to raise money to help find a cure for this horrible disease, we are going to cut and donate our hair in support. We will be donating about 25cm of our hair to sustainable salons (who make donated hair into wigs for those with cancer and alopecia), but hope to raise money for NeuroEndocrine cancer here. Thank you for your support. – Mieka & Heather
