Sarah goes on to say, "Thanks to somebody who donated their hair, my grandmother got a wig that lifted her self confidence from 1 to 100. I have lost a few dear friends to battles with cancer. Since I know how it feels to be defeated by cancer, I feel we should show cancer we can defeat it. By giving people confidence, it enables them to have a more positive outlook. This is quite helpful when battling this horrible disease. That is why I decided to organize a hair donation."
