Locks of Love
Miss Virginia USA 1999, Kellie Lightbourn, cut off 13 inches of her
auburn locks to help create a wig for 12-year-old Amber Marrs. Amber
suffers from a disease called alopecia areata which has no known cause.
The disease can bring on complete hair loss in children and to-date
has no cure. Kellie Lightbourn donated her hair through a Palm Springs
charity which provides hairpieces for children like Amber.
