Ever since Alisha was diagnosed with leukemia, her pseudo-Uncle, Craig had made a promise to allow her to shave his head when she loses all her hair and stay shaved until she starts to grow her hair back. Luckily for Craig, Alisha took about seven months to go bald while most cancer patients going through chemotherapy take around two months to lose their locks. Additionally, her hair has already started to grow back - the peach fuzz feel.
A few months ago, Craig was praying that Alisha is one of those kids whose hair just thins out, but the intensity of her chemo knocked most of it out last month. Craig and his dear friend, John joined in on this noble cause to honor and support Alisha in her journey to beat leukemia. As Alisha prepares for her artwork (she had hello Kitty in mind), Craig and John bravely braced for how it will turn out. Alisha was a quick study and carefully designed and gave Craig the Friar Tuck look - huge bald spot on the top with a border of hair around the back of the head/neck and the side while John's look was more feminine involving a sun and later a flower with stem. John's 4-year-old son, JP also joined in on this great cause and asked for his head to be shaved too!
Alisha meticulously worked on her designs while thoroughly enjoying herself with laughters in between the shaving. Alisha also had a trimming to even out her peach fuzz, so the hair would come in all one length. Although Alisha had been apprehensive about going bald, she is taking advantage of the benefits of being bald - no hassle in the morning, no hair drying after shampooing, no more tangles, no more bad hair days! She has definitely taken her baldness into strides. We are all very appreciative of what Craig, John and JP and done to keep Alisha company and are truly thankful how much she is loved!
