A big shoutout to our very own Matthew Timmons, a clinical pharmacy specialist at Bon Secours, who recently donated 19 inches of hair to the nonprofit Wigs for Kids. Matthew started growing his hair during the COVID-19 lockdown and decided to keep it going so he could make a difference. This was his first hair donation – and now that he’s done it once, he’s excited to grow it out and do it again in the future. Wigs for Kids provides wigs free of charge to children experiencing hair loss. Matthew’s generosity helps make this incredible mission possible. Check out the before, during and after photos below and join us in celebrating Matthew for turning a simple haircut into a life-changing gift!
