"When we heard the story of Megan M., an NFL cheerleader who buzzed her hair to benefit leukemia research, we were amazed. When the Indianapolis Colts head coach, Chuck Pagano, was diagnosed with leukemia, several of the football players on the team shaved their heads as a show of support for their beloved coach. That caught on, and then the Colts mascot asked if he were to raise $10,000 to benefit cancer research, would any of the cheerleaders volunteer to shave their heads too. And guess who volunteered first? A lovely cheerleader named Megan on the team. &amp;amp;#8220;It was really overwhelming,&amp;quot; she says of getting her hair buzzed off in front of thousands of fans. &amp;quot;People were cheering so loud and I could just feel the pride they had for our team that we were able to do something like this. I think everyone hopes they can make a difference in their life and hopefully that&amp;amp;#8217;s what we did yesterday.&amp;amp;#8221; Another cheerleader named Crystal Ann also volunteered to have her hair shaved off (both donated their hair to Locks of Love), and together they raised more than $22,000 to benefit leukemia research at the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Awww, such a beautiful and inspiring story. Megan M., people like you who go the extra mile for others (even shrugging off your own vanity in the process) truly amaze us. Gals, tell me, honestly, would you consider buzzing your head to support a charity?
