Bluevale residents donate hair to cancer charity A good cause Kim, left, and Lola Johnston each had nine inches of their hair chopped off in mid-January to donate to the Children with Hair Loss non-profit group. Lola inspired the big cut when it was time to get her long hair trimmed. (Photo submitted) By Denny Scott The Citizen Bluevale residents Kim and Lola Johnston both went under the shears to donate nine inches of hair each to Kids with Hair Loss, a foundation that helps children facing cancer treatment. In mid-January, Kim and her 10 - year -old daughter Lola went to Turning Heads and Making Waves in Brussels and took turns having nine inches of hair cut off for the cause by the salon owner Janice Machan. Kim, an Educational Assistant at F.E. Madill Secondary School, explained that her daughter wanted a hair cut and her hair was quite long at the time, so long that it still goes down to her shoulders after the cut. She decided to donate to Kids with Hair Loss to help them out and convinced her mother to do the same. "Lola has always liked her hair," she said. "When it came time to get a cut, she decided she wanted to help out children who have lost their hair." The two received a certificate of appreciation for their donation and hope to encourage other people to help out and further research the worthy charity. Hustle The Blyth Brussels Midget Girls were in action on Saturday at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre, taking on their counterparts from Zurich. The locals were blanked in the game, however, losing by a score of 5-0.
