“I lost my brother John to cancer in May 2023. After losing both my parents not long before, the grief felt endless. I needed something, anything, to hold on to.So I grew my hair to donate in his honour. It was something I could do when everything else felt out of my hands.Today, nearly two years later, I walked into Chai Lifeline Canada and handed over my hair. My heart is full. My brother’s legacy is love.”Thank you Marina, for turning pain into purpose.#chailifelinecanada #hairdonation #inmemoryofjohn #legacyoflove #griefandgratitude #makeadifference ... See MoreSee Less
