Mother's Day weekend was the perfect timing for a "My Life Moment," event photo session. Allyson has not had a haircut in eleven years! In fact, she has never had a hair cut! Allyson decided that she wanted to donate twelve inches of her hair to "Locks of Love." 

"Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis."

In addition to donating her hair, Allyson and her family will be sending a financial donation to Locks of Love. The total cost of providing one cranial prosthesis for a child is $1,000. Each hair piece requires 6-10 pony tails. The retail cost for these hair pieces is $3,500 - $6,000. Financial Donations are tax deductible.

Happy Mother's Day!
