She’s eleven going on twenty-five now. We are sending the ponytail off to one of the organizations listed on the Canadian Cancer Society’s website.
Thanks to Stella for inspiring Niamh to grow her hair. It was a great experience.

Fabulous and love the new do. Well done N.
She looks amazing!!!
Gorgeous new ‘do! What a nice kiddo! Great job!
It looks fabulous and there will be a little girl who will be very happy to have a special wig to get through her difficult cancer treatment. Bravo!
You are a beautiful girl, Niamh, inside and out. Your new hairstyle looks gorgeous, and I’m looking forward to seeing it today. Congratulations on a beautiful gesture.
Wow. Way to go Niamh. I think Eileen said it best: a beautiful gesture from a beautiful girl.
PS. A beautiful girl who does no small credit to her mom 🙂
Aw, thanks Sasha!
Thanks All. She’s so happy about her new haircut and being able to mail off her ponytail.
Cool. Eve did that with her friend a couple of Christmases ago. I love the gesture, and the super-cute bob they end up with.
Awesome for Eve – would she do it again? We haven’t decided yet here yet.
So fantastic! What a beautiful gesture! 🙂
And you are another one of our inspirers. Will you do it again?
