“I was sitting in the waiting room for well over an hour reading Matilda by Roald Dahl, growing impatient with every passing minute. ”
She added by saying:
“My mom went on to beat cancer a total of three times over the next 12 years and now she is doing exactly what she should be. She is out enjoying her life, travelling the world with my Dad.”
“So as I look forward to donation day I am thinking of my mother and everyone else reading this who has been touched by cancer. Treatment is a painful process and I am hoping my hair donation, and the donations of everyone else who is joining me, will make it a little easier for someone battling this awful disease.”
