One Wish At A Time
Courtney Bickley and Macy Hall

2. Inspiration
My best friend’s older sister, Natalie, died from Leukemia at the age of 3. She was fortunate enough to have her wish granted through The Make-A-Wish Foundation.

3. Locks of Love
Non-profit organization that makes wigs out of donated hair for children with medical illnesses that result in the loss of their hair
Donated my own hair to Locks of Love to kick start my senior project
Got about 20 other people to donate their hair as well, resulting in about 30 ponytails and about 5 wigs for kids with cancer.
