Walla Walla High School JROTC cadet donates "Locks of Love" to aid young patients
A Walla Walla High School JROTC Blue Devil Battalion cadet recently made her fourth hair donation to the "Locks of Love" program.
Cadet Captain Kaylee Bialozor, 17, a class of 2011 senior, took up this cause after learning about the program from her father's sister.
"She looks a lot like her aunt and has always looked up to her as a role model," said Lt. Col. Bill Bialozor, Senior Army Instructor for the Wa-Hi Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program.
Kaylee, currently serving as the cadet battalion Public Affairs Officer, or "S5", has been deliberately growing her hair for about a year for this donation. She plans to pursue an ROTC scholarship at Central Washington University next year and hopes to seek a commission as an Army officer. Like father like daughter, in that respect, said a source close to the program and the family.
Bialozor had her 10 inches cut at Fantastic Sams in the Tri-Cities, which is an active supporter of the Locks of Love program. Donors give a minimum of 10 inches of undyed hair.
According to the "Locks of Love" web site, the donations help develop a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss. She noted that her younger sister Mattie made her first donation to "Locks" several years ago.
