A group of friends shave their hair to support their friend that had been diagnosed of breast cancer

-

Everyone should be lucky enough to have one true friend in life. Gerdi McKenna has 11.

After their friend Gerdi McKenna was diagnosed with breast cancer, a group of women headed to the hair salon to do something few friends would consider. Ten of them shaved their heads, and one cut off more than 15 inches of hair.

Shaving off all their hair meant giving up their pride, but they had each other to help with the nerves.


"I learned one thing this morning and that is that hair is but a small part of you," one of the women said after shaving her head.






After all their heads were shaved, it was time for the women to surprise Gerdi with their new do's. "I think she's going to be very happy, upset and tearful," one woman predicted.





When Gerdi arrived, the women pulled off their matching beanies to reveal their now bald heads. The look on Gerdi's face was worth more than a head of hair ever could be.





"You girls look AWESOME," she said through tears.




Next, the ladies did what any group of women sporting fabulous new hair do's would do— they had a photo shoot.

Although to be fair, I was partially living on my own as I lived apart from my family with other people, so I guess I didn’t qualify for the ceremony.

It was late afternoon, the harsh scorch from the sun was fading, the cool evening breeze had begun its daily night shift. A small group of little humans; consisting of five or six children with age ranging from 7 to 9; emerge running from a three-storey building. They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
