An Israeli charitable drive in Israel beat the Guinness World Record for donating hair to children with cancer.
More than 250 women participated in a haircutting event last Monday at Jerusalems Malha Mall; it was hosted by Zichron Menachem the Israeli Association for the Support of Children with Cancer and their Families, together with Pantene Products Israel. Approximately 200 hair salons participated. It was planned as a three-day program, but within five hours, more than 117 pounds, or 53.1 kilograms, of hair was donated.
The previous record for hair collection was 107 pounds, or 48.7 kilograms.
The Zichron Menachem website (zichron.org) includes a list of more than 100 haircutting venues that participate in this initiative all year round. The collected hair is given to children in hospitals throughout Israel. The organization serves all Israeli citizens equally, regardless of faith and/or gender.
Addressing potential donors, Zichron Menachem stresses that a healthy individuals hair never stops growing. You and your hair! can bring boundless joy to a child with cancer! Even if you cut it all off, it will still grow back.
