PVHS Student Honors Friend with Locks of Love Donation

It was a family affair at A Cut Above salon in Ambler on Wednesday, when Ali Whitman cut her hair and had it donated to Locks of Love in honor a friend who died of Leukemia.

Ali’s sister, and Perkiomen Valley Middle School East eighth grader, Jules, was on hand to cut some of her sister’s hair, before it was donated to make wigs for child cancer patients.

Ali is scene in the attached photos with a Locks of Love shirt that she made and wore to school on Thursday.

Ali’s first friend in the family’s neighborhood, Kyle, died of Leukemia when Ali was two, and the “Kisses for Kyle” was created. Ali has followed the foundation, and cut her hair in memory of Kyle, according to Ali’s mother, Jill.
