JAY — Cheryl Jerry grew her hair long for two years to be able to donate a sizable cut to Maggie’s Wig4 Kids.
The Michigan business accepts cuts that are from seven to 11 inches in length.
On her March 26 hair appointment at Hair Works in Livermore Falls she had her hairdresser, Trudy Meserve, remove a 12-plus-inch pony tail of her brown locks.
Other members of her family had already made similar donations. The Jerrys lost a son in his early 40s to cancer. Having seen him and scores of others on their son’s trips for treatment in Massachusetts go through the loss of hair, it made an impression on Cheryl.
She and her husband were especially moved by seeing so many children patients with no hair. Thus, choosing a company that focused on making wigs for children.
