Geeziz Man......I am without words for the action of your daughters.............................so I'll give you a different wig story.

The Columbus community is extremely active when it comes to breast cancer in thanks to two young women. Stephanie Spielman was the wife of Detroit Lions and Ohio State famed linebacker, Chris Spielman. The other was a popular local news anchor. Heather Pick. Both chose to raise awareness as a part of their lives and they certainly did.

Heather Pick was especially cool and when her cancer returned as she knew it would she once again followed her own great advice and refused to let it control her. She advised everyone to: "Search out and get the best treatment available then get on with your life." When chemo started again. she worked right along and wore the beautiful wigs she had. But then one day, on the air, she was reporting a Koman Foundation news story for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and took off her wig with a huge smile. Then she went a step further! She had been off for some additional treatment and on this day back she slapped on a bright pink synthetic wig. That got so many calls and so much support that it became a bit of a trademark for her.

Both Heather and Stephanie passed away within just a year of each other and this town was devastated although everyone new theirs was fatal. At the annual "Race for the Cure" channel 10 sponsored "Heather and Stephanie's Team"...........and here was what they looked like: Over 6000 Buckeyes in pink wigs walking for the cure

BTW......Bruce's cd will take you right back to the 60's......He's wonderful!
