19TH Surfman Award: Angel Hair for Kids

This week's Surfman award goes to the very worthy and noble program Angel Hair for Kids; which is part of A Child's Voice Foundation, based in Mississauga, Onatrio, Canada. Every year 10,000 Canadian children lose their hair to cancer treatments, burn accidents etc. I am so proud that a group like this exists to provide wigs to disadvantaged children that have lost their hair. In fact I was so moved that I had my hair cut a few weeks ago, after growing it for over 3 years and donated it to Angel Hair. Organizations like this accentuate the positive and give us reasons for hope in a society that is increasingly seeing the glass half empty. Thank you Angel Hair, please keep up the good work. And all you surfmen out there, if you have hair to spare, checkout Angel Hair's website for all the particulars.

Ah thanks Krissy, very kind words...yeah, it was a wee bit hard to cut my hair after 3 years, 2 months but I had decided to donate it after it grew long enough. Thanks again
