Well, I cut 14" of my hair (braided) and donations are still rolling in. I've collected $556.00 so far - and while it's just a drop in the bucket, every bit helps. I'm actually liking my shorter hair. It's easier to take care of and a little cooler for the summer, so I've been wearing it down more, which my husband loves. It's been painful raising awareness and funds at work (LONG story), but I know there is something bigger than a few people's egos, so I persisted, going along with my efforts. I beat my goal by $56.00 and am happy to be able to help someone in need. All I can say is that all the pitfalls have been worth it. I'd rather be fired, living in a cardboard box - than win a popularity contest at work and stand idly by when I know I could help. It's a sad day in history when doing the right thing could get you in trouble (or cast you in a bad light), but I guess that says more about the people I work for than it says about me. At any rate, I'm proud of what I did and the money I raised and would do it again in a heartbeat. God bless you, Ramsey! Get well soon!

Would you like to help a child battle Leukemia?
In the spirit of St. Baldrick’s I am running my own fundraiser to help pay for Ramsey Farrar’s medical treatment. I will cut my long hair in WW19 and donate it to Locks of Love, but I need your help. 100% of the proceeds of any donation will go directly to Ramsey (I will pay for the haircut out of my own pocket as well as make a monetary donation). If you are interested please contact me (Wendy Baylis) at mrsbaylis2004@yahoo.comThanks,
Wendy :-)

Meet Ramsey Joseph Farrar
A friend of mine from work recently found out his young son has Leukemia. Ramsey Joseph Farrar is only 2 and a half years old, but has already gone through more than any child should ever have to. Just thought I'd spread the word about his condition and recovery process. Please check out his story: http://caringbridge.org/visit/ramseyfarrar I am selling 10 inches of my long hair on HairTrader.com (Ebay-like site for wig makers) and will donate the proceeds to his recovery: http://thehairtrader.com/viewlisting.asp?lid=253257
