Locks Of Love
Our daughter, Rebecca Cerini, who is just seven years old, decided to cut off 10 inches of her hair to help other children affected by cancer. As a Brownie Girl Scout from Troop 1174, her selfless act will hopefully have others follow in her steps. She donated her hair to Locks of Love this past July and we are so proud of her. Love, Mom, Dad and all your family.
