So I am very much involved in the Susan G. Komen 3Day for a Cure(Breast Cancer Foundation). I am a crew captain this year, which the crew are the people who work the event and keep it going for the 3 days. I am in charge of 24 people.

I had a get together this past weekend at my house and "came out" to everyone as they were seeing me in a wig that day, but during the event I will be in a hat or bandana so I don't die in the heat. I wanted to make sure to tell them ahead of time, 1) to let them know that they might not recognize me right away and 2) to make sure that they didn't think that I was a breast cancer survivor going thru treatment. They were all very supportive and all said that they love me just the way I am (most of them met me for the first time that day).

So a week from now I will by dying my buzzed hair fuschia for the event! They will only be able to see the sides of it or the back under my hats/bandanas but I wanted to do something fun. I can't go without anything on my head because I will get sunburn really bad being outside all day. My friends are all going pink too, so it should be fun.

I am going to a New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys concert next week too!! I can't wait for my week of friends, tears, laughs, hugs and a whole lot more to begin!! My best friend is coming in for the event and I can't wait to see her(she lives 6 hours away).

I will try and post a pink picture for you guys to see too! Funny thing is I am going to see dermatology for a skin check and of course they are goin to want to see my hair. The appointment is 2 weeks after the walk so I am sure I will still be pink. Should I try and say that I just woke up one day with pink hair?? Doubt they will believe me, but it would be funny to see their reaction!

Hope all is well with everyone!! Remember..hair is just hair..just an accessory! So just be sure to accessorize with a smile instead!
