Corinne donates her hair to
World of Wigs
A cancer survivor herself, Neal had originally wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love but was told the hair-donation organization provides wigs for children and does not accept gray hair. Calling that "discrimination against the Grannies and Grandpas,'' she has struck out on her own to provide a gray wig for her friend.
Neal began to grow her hair long three years ago when she was diagnosed with melanoma on her left arm. The cancer was removed without treatment that would have caused her to lose her hair. She said he felt lucky to still have her hair and was inspired to help others.
But when she researched hair donations, she was told that organizations that give wigs to cancer patients – such as Locks of Love and Pantene Beautiful Lengths – do not accept gray hair.
"My thought was, 'Hey, we are left out,'" Neal said in a previous interview. "There shouldn't be any discrimination." |
