teal ribbons and cut-off ponytails

last night at the tc/dunbar football game was absolutely amazing. there is a girl at tc who was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is being such a trooper. she had it arranged to get her head shaved at halftime to raise money for markey cancer center. it was amazing. you would not believe the number of high school guys who joined in and were bald and the number of high school girls who had significantly shorter hair than when they came. (locks of love was there). i think they raised around $1000 for ovarian cancer research. it was really awesome. funny thing is, i didn't know that teal was ovarian cancer's color until last night. stuff like this makes me think i need to have more of a voice. most survivors are out there speaking at things and raising awareness, and i don't do that. so i will be keeping my eyes open for opportunities. below is a picture from halftime when everyone was in the middle of the field getting their hair chopped and shaved. i think the scissors all broke by the end of the night. she is a brave girl. i had the lady that cut my hair come to my house so that nobody could witness the shaving of the head.. and proceed to wear my wig 100% of the time i was around people. she is awesome. ...for your entertainment... i FINALLY turned in my ponytail from 2 years ago when doni cut my hair off hahaha better late than never i guess? now THAT is procrastination :)
