This is how the Relay of Life is described on the Terrell Chamber of Commerce website.
This overnight fundraiser for cancer research honors cancer survivors and caregivers and remembers those who succumbed to the disease. The event includes on-site fundraising activities sponsored by relay teams, who don't mind adding a little humor to a serious cause.
More information about the Relay for Life can be found here.
Bliss Hair Studio has a team raising money for the fight against cancer. There was at least one person donating more than cash. Follow the pictures below.
See that braid draped over her shoulder?
Just a little more......
All gone. This lady just donated 21" of hair. Awesome.

What a nice and touching fund raising event. We had it here too. Well done.
Just when I think people are rotten I see something like this. Makes me feel good again. :)
Oh my. To lose 21 inches of your hair is a big donation for the lady who gave it up but for a good cause. I wonder if her family recognized her?
Great way to raise money and help people out. My sister did the Locks of Love not long ago.
Glad to see her pitching in on this! I love the way RFL provides people tangible ways for everyone to help cancer research and cancer victims.
Jim, your photography and reporting on this wonderful event is splendid. I think your blog about your beloved Terrell is wonderful. I enjoyed browsing your recent posts and following the links in the house one, too.
Great event---more power to all the people involved. My daughter donated her hair a few years ago. It was very special. MB
What a wonderful post, and how heartwarming! 21" is a lot of donation!!!
