Notable Donors
All American football player (and Chicago Bears first-round draft pick) Gabe Carimi's maternal uncle suffered from leukemia as a child, underwent chemotherapy while he was in second grade, and lost his hair in the process. At nine years old, his uncle died. He was mentioned often in family discussions. Carimi thought he would do something "that wouldn't take a lot of my time but would help other people." He grew his hair out for 20 months, until it was long enough in 2010 to donate to Locks of Love.
National Hockey League player George Parros has grown his hair long since the start of his professional hockey career, so he can donate it to Locks of Love.
Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler donated 15 inches of his hair in September 2012.

“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
