Hope for the next generation

By Tiffany Green

Six-year old Cabri Adams wanted to do something in honor of her mom who survived breast cancer.

Dana Adams battled breast cancer and found it when she was pregnant with her daughter. She had Cabri at 38 weeks and just days later she had surgery to remove the tumor.

Within three weeks, Dana had a baby, had two surgeries and started chemotherapy.

Dana has now been cancer free for seven years. When Cabri said she wanted to grow her hair out for Lock-of-Love, Dana was so proud.

“A friend had her hair cut and she waned to also when I explained to her what is was,” Dana said.

She grew her hair the 10 inches she needed to in order to have it cut for Locks-of-Love.

“My friend did it and I wanted to do it too,” Cabri said.

“I’m proud of her,” Dana said of Cabri. “I think anybody will be lucky to get her beautiful hair. A child that is sick will be lucky to receive it.”
