My sister is awesome; give her cash.

So, my little sister cuts her hair for cancer. She's been doing it since she was 10. We grew up in a family that volunteered it's time and money and effort to whatever organization we could; I suppose it's natural that a child raised in that enviroment would want to follow suit as quickly as possible?

I cut my hair the first time when I was 8 and I raised $1,100.00 in pledges, the second time I raised $2,700.00 and this year my goal is $5000.00. I would be honoured if you would help me. This year I am proudly supporting The Terry Fox Foundation in its ongoing work to fund innovative and progressive cancer research programs. I very much hope you will consider making a donation in support of my effort, confident in the knowledge that your kindness will impact the lives of so many people living with cancer.

My mom helped her write that. I think she should have done it herself, but people don't listen to ME.


Anyway I have this link here- http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx...ationID=920291 - That takes to her Terry Fox page. Take a look; Let me know if what she's doin' interests you, feel free to speak your mind on the kids efforts, hell, if you have spare change, feel free.

Previously, she'd intended to go for 10K, but decided her hair wasn't long enough to be worth collecting donations for yet; she's now down to about mid-back, and thinks it's time.

So yeah, there's a youtube video from way-back that i had posted here, but it's probably -long- gone. So, here's the news clip on my youtube account:

and here's just a random clip of her singing at her school (She's been taking singing lessons for about a year, and she's remarkably confident, even in the face of a rather messy accident in the middle of her song):

Edit: Oh shit I need a closer of some type for the thread, uh, crud.

TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS.

yeah that'll work.

Edit: Tagged it as 'serious' cause I'd kind of like it if people didn't step in and be all like "Cancer lol", cause, not cool. (why don't we have an 'awesome' tag?)
