Elizabeth's family has been personally touched by cancer and she has been wanting to donate her hair for 12 years, patiently growing it out inch by inch! She researched various organizations and chose Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan as the recipient of her beautiful hair. Elizabeth made an appointment at Go Green Salon located inside our Wellness Center and was very happy that she could make a difference for a local child here in her community -- thank you, Elizabeth! If you're interested in donating hair like she did, please visit our website: http://www.wigs4kids.org/donate-hair.html
