Next month will mark my mother’s 73rd birthday and June will mark 22 years since she passed away from lung cancer. My mom was rad. I was able to talk with her about anything. She was kind of like a second mom to my friends that would come over to hang out or visit. She had a radness factor of 10.

I have always been a sucker for long hair. When I married my wife Renia, she had long hair. She had long hair all the time I have known her (since 1994). I told her how rad and special my mom was since she was not able to know her. Since lung cancer was what took my mama, she wanted to do something special for her. She wanted to do something that would last and help others. She did some research and found  http://locksoflove.org/.

Since finding http://locksoflove.org/ she has donated three times as of today. My daughter who just turned 6 donated for her first time on thursday. I donated once about 6 years ago. I can’t donate any more. My hair has turned gray and I don’t have the real estate available for a new crop.

Thank you to my wife and daughter for their love. My whole family has a radness factor of 10!
