All About Brandon

My nephew Brandon got his hair cut yesterday!

Oooh, you say, "big deal" a haircut.
Well, if you know Brandon you'd know it IS a big deal. This picture was taken last October and his hair was even longer when he got it cut yesterday. Brandon has the most beautiful blonde curly hair. The kind girls pay fortunes trying to get.
Brandon has also always had long hair. You could always tell him from the distance.

This is Brandon before his cut.


This is Brandon yesterday afternoon, after his cut.
and this is what's left of Brandon's hair. Count them - 10 ponytails - to be shipped off to British Columbia. Brandon grew his hair for cancer and these gorgeous locks are going to contribute to a beautiful new wig for some child suffering the after affects of cancer treatment. The longest piece was 14" .


For more information on this very worthwhile cause, check out the links below.



NOTE: Simon is growing his out as well. Although he wavers every now and then about cutting it, I think Brandon has inspired him.
He's got about another 1-4" to go depending on whether we cut it at 8" or wait till the 10".

Hey Brandon ... I hope you read this :-) ... good for you and congratulations! The new hair cut looks great.

Wow - Brandon - for any other cause, I would have said, "Don't do it!" but for this, I'm proud of ya!

Thanks for helping keep me up to speed on life in the county, Vic!
