After.
Today, Jennifer had her head shaved (by her sister Amy) at a local St. Baldrick's event to raise money for children's cancer research.
We both lost our moms to cancer. Fact is, Jennifer's mom was buried on this day nine years ago. This was something Jennifer felt she needed to do, and she's been growing her hair for the last two years in preparation. Her hair will go to make wigs for children who've lost their hair for some medical reason.
The last I saw, today's event had taken in over $105,000, but the final tally won't come for a day or two. About $1,800 of that is what Jennifer raised, courtesy of our friends, co-workers and family. We know a lot of good people.
I've never been more proud of her. And she's never looked more pretty.
