Corina Cox takes her place in the seat for her “first major cut.” She is donating her long, brown curls to Locks of Love, so that someone who is undergoing chemotherapy can wear it. Also pictured is Tauna Chappell, who cut her hair.
For this reason, Corina Cox and her parents decided to donate her long, brown curls to Locks of Love Thursday.
“She’s had it trimmed before, but this is her first major cut,” her mother Janet Cox said. “I’ve always thought that if we got it cut, I’d like to donate it. She knows it’s going to be donated, and she’s very happy about that.”
Tauna Chappell of T’z Head 2 Toe was the one with the scissors. She said it’s not uncommon to have people donate their hair to cancer patients.
“it makes me feel happy,” she said.
Pharmacist Scott Brewer owns Family Pharmacy, and he also wanted to do something to recognize Cancer Prevention and Awareness Month at his drug store.
He invited Rachel Yates and Betty Rice of Hope Cottage to set up a table at the business and discuss their specialty store in Aberdeen, which offers headwraps, specialized bras and clothes for cancer patients and survivors.
Both of the ladies are retired nurses, and Yates is herself a breast cancer survivor.
“We want people to feel like it’s not the end of the world,” Yates said. “A lot of times, when a woman loses her breast, she feels like she’ll never be pretty again. That’s not true.”
