James McKenna shows off his locks cut off for love. Three years ago McKenna decided he had a mission. Knowing someone personally who was a cancer survivor, he made a commitment to donate his hair to Locks of Love. Whenever someone commented on the length of his long thick hair, his response was always, "When it's long enough, I'm donating it to a kid with cancer." Alexus Croft at Art Hammer and CO Hair Designs, who has supported McKenna in his endeavor, cut off 10 inches of McKenna’s hair on October 9. Photo/Special.
