Two young residents donate their hair to women fighting cancer.
Minnetonka’s Emilee Metcalf is known as a “hair farmer” since she has donated her hair three times to organizations benefiting those diagnosed with cancer. Her previous donation came after she battled uterine cancer in 2011; the cancer is in remission. And when Emilee’s daughters—7-year-old Ada and 6-year-old Elizabeth—saw what their mom went through, they decided to donate their hair as well.
“It was all them,” Metcalf says. “I said, ‘If you want to cut your hair, you can.’ ” Altogether, the family donated 33 inches of hair.
