Breast Cancer Video: Mom's New Haircut

A friend's mom is in the middle of her second fight with breast cancer. She recently shaved her head, and my friend (her son) made a video of her explaining why that is such a powerful thing for people fighting cancer.

I don't know how to embed Vimeo clips here, so here's a link to a site where it is embedded.

Feel free to pass the link along. I helped write and record the song that's playing in the background. Very proud to have been a small part of this.

Very nice video, sm. I'm assuming your friend is an editor/filmmaker in some professional capacity?

Yes. He's an editor, does a lot of film work, some TV.

Very nice Smooth. I did what I could.
Healing prayers sent her way.

Wonderful, SM
Have sent to my Mum. Another of her correspondants is under the knife this week.

I've told her to be free to pass it on - there won't be any money forthcoming (they all donate to UK charities already) but I know prayers and good thoughts will be coming her way.

All my best to Renee, I like her style.

Wow smooth. That was a beautiful film. Thank you for that!

I'm going to send it to my mom.
