Madison and Makenzie

Madison's twin sister, Makenzie, has always had short hair. Teachers and school mates were easily able to tell the two girls apart because of their hair. When Madison first saw her new hair style, she said, “I look just like Makenzie. No one will be able to tell us apart.” She had a brief moment of regret. But then, she remembered the goal she had set four years earlier and realized that she could always grow her hair long again, while the children that she was donating her hair to would never be able to grow hair at all. When Madison’s three year old cousin Andra saw her with short hair for the first time, she said, “Now there’s two Makenzie’s and two Madison’s.” Other family members noted that while it may be a challenge to tell the two girls apart, the cause is well worth any extra effort on their behalf. A picture of Madison along with this story was printed in our local newspaper. We are very proud of Madison and the birthday gift she chose to give to another.
