A North Van ten-year-old is feeling a little lighter these days, and for a good cause.
Tayler van Born had 11 inches of hair snipped, after growing it for almost a year and a half.
Ponytail in hand, van Born will be personally dropping off her donation to Wigs for Kids B.C.
"I like to see people smile, and if somebody gets my hair that doesn't have any, [when I have so much] – I just want to see them happy and smiling," says van Born.
The Wigs for Kids B.C. program raises money year-round to provide free custom-fitted human-hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer or other serious illnesses. The program also helps cover the costs of essential drugs and feeding supplies for children that are not covered by MSP.
Wigs for Kids also welcomes ponytail donations, saying it's a wonderful way to help them provide more wigs for kids. It takes approximately 10 to 12 ponytails to make one wig.
