Our goal is to collect 1 million inches of hair so that we may provide wigs to women who would otherwise be unable to afford them. Please help support this amazing cause… we could use every inch of hair we can get!

  2. Good job! Amazing to keep women of risk empowered and alert about breast cancer.

    I am medical student, just done a research on knowledge, attitude and practice related to the prevention of breast cancer in Uganda. Results not published yet. I hope do the same like you, help Ugandan women to be alert and empowered.

    Keep up the great job.
