This is my cousin’s kid.
My . . . second cousin? Twice removed? On my father’s dog’s side? No, that’s not right. My father never had a dog.
Anyways, this is Maiya, bravely losing all of her hair in the gym of my alma mater, Reynolds Secondary, which raised a whopping $84,000 for Cops for Cancer, absolutely crushing the school fundraising in Victoria. Top fundraisers by a mile.
Here’s the before shot for an idea of how much hair she had:

Here’s the support of about half her besties (the other half were in front):

Here’s her post-shave love:

I’ve seen this happen a lot over the years with friends, co-workers, percussionists, strangers, and I’m pretty convinced that it’s just not that big of a deal for a guy.
It’s HUGE for a girl to do this. And this one’s in grade 9. Massive respect to you, Maiya.
