"A 5-year-old Salem girl undergoing cancer treatment received a wig made from natural hair Tuesday with the help of Londonderry High School students and the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program.Click here to view News 9\u2019s reportAva London was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January and had emergency surgery to have it removed. The left side of her head had to be shaved, but now as she waits for her hair to grow back she has something that will help her feel like everyone else.\u201CMaybe it\u2019s not a huge deal, but it will be to her so she can have hair like everyone else,\u201D said Jeffrey Frankland, Ava\u2019s father.Ava is undergoing radiation on a daily basis and might lose all of her hair.\u201C(We were in) total shock. Nothing we could have expected. (She) went in for dehydration and came out with a brain tumor,\u201D Frankland said.It\u2019s been a grueling six weeks for the kindergartener, who has always been a spunky kid who was active in cheerleading.Around the same time Ava was diagnosed, Londonderry High School had its day of giving, where students donate their hair to be made into wigs. Sophie Bartlett and another student who knew about Ava brought her story to their teacher\u2019s attention.\u201CThe students are the ones who brought this forward, and because they have done so much donating over the years we have built up a good feeling where we can contact people and ask can we get a wig from you for whatever cause it is, and people are very quick to respond,\u201D said Steven Juster, a teacher at Londonderry High.Pantene Beautiful Lengths out of New York City donated the wig, which is small enough for a child. The wig was delivered to Ava\u2019s Salem home Tuesday evening.Ava wasn\u2019t feeling up to keeping the wig on for long, but the hair stylist who works with the high school said she will be able to trim the wig and style it so it will better frame Ava\u2019s face.Ava\u2019s father said her cancer is aggressive, but they are hopeful she will respond well to the treatment. Her family has received a lot of support since the diagnosis in the form of cards and words of support from all over the country."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
