February 4th, 2015 is World Cancer Day. We remember and honor all cancer survivors, fighters, and those brave hearts that are no longer amidst us today.
"Hair for Hope" is the signature fundraising event of the Childrens Cancer Foundation.
A young girl, Rhea , all of 12 years, two generations younger to me , and daughter of one of my young friends in Singapore, has pledged to donate all her hair and go bald , on March 20, 2015, during the "Hair for Hope" event at her school, to raise awareness of the disease as well as encourage donations.
Do check the post here to find out how you can help and encourage.
| A congregation of slim young protein filaments, shining cascading black brilliantly agog listening to other filaments at the International Keshsaambhaar Conference. And amidst those filaments, painfully misty eyed over heat treatments, unnatural colors, assorted wild snipings, and twisting their lives into tired curls, there are some proletarian types, unfailingly divided and united in plaits, and occasionally arm twisted into buns with decorations, and some, who stand enchanted by how they photograph and look as hair blows about their face thanks to unnatural blasts of air. And then quietly strong away at another session, millions and trillions of them, held together by sheer bands of young dedication, gratefully descending onto a young shoulder, patting it, and sliding down to rest against a young back. | A mindful organic mothering
with a coconut oil, proud to have been a part, these cascading ones, playing with so many combs so many brushes so many headbands so many clips and so many knots their lives straightened out, all very proud as to where they come from, and where they will be travelling soon. In tribute For those proteinous filaments who lost lives thanks to the collateral damages in the Therapy Wars, so that others may live, these twelve year young glowing shining ones, offer themselves, unreservedly on March 20 , 2015. An amazing decision, by a little girl, who must know what it is to let go off something you value and love so much, but who wants to do her own thing to support those who faced a troubled life with Big C, and never had that choice. |
