Since the video went viral, Emily and her family have received emails from people all over the world. Some have written about how much they were encouraged as they are going through cancer themselves, others said a kind word to Emily for being brave and generous, and other mom’s have sent them pictures of their little girls doing the same. Her parents have had the pleasure of showing Emily that what she chose to do has inspired others to give what they can.

Just a reminder ladies that life is so much more grand that the curls on our heads. Personally I’m inspired by Emily’s bravery and courage. Not sure cutting my hair off is in my immediate plan, but I’ve definitely been inspired to keep the message of giving going! Let’s dedicate some time each month to do something nice for those who can’t return the favor.

What do you think about Emily’s decision to cut her hair? Would you ever consider doing the same?
