Childhood Cancer Inspires Woman To Go Bald On Purpose - Page 2
She doesn't like to use the word sacrifice, but she's definitely leaving her comfort zone.
"I know it will grow back, but I know it's going to take awhile," which is why she's been buying lots of hats, she said.
One concern the Patels had was that people would think she was sick.
She's had a T-shirt printed saying "I shaved my head for a child with cancer." She's also thought about wearing a button that says "Ask me why I shaved my head."
"I hope we will create a situation that we will talk about it," Patel said. "We avert our eyes from things that are painful, but that doesn't change the fact that it's there."
Amy has a website, BaldOnPurpose, where you can see pictures and video of Amy shaving her head, including before and after pictures. Amy, who was a beauty before she shaved, is even more gorgeous sans hair, must be that inner grace showing through.
Here's a link to Amy's St. Jude's donation page, where Amy and her husband Sandy are collecting donations to help sick children like her little friend Evan.
Amy has raised $4425 and her goal is $5000.00 — if there is anything you can do to help, this is a great cause.
(Many thanks to my good friend Suli who shared Amy's story with me, and that of little Evan Thomason.)
