Locks of Love

Maria Bleckler donated her long curly locks to Locks of Love at JCPenney Salon in Cape Girardeau, MO on July 1, 2009. Her stylist, Cherri Lynn Large, cut a little more than 10 inches of Maria's hair for donation. Even though Maria's mom wanted to talk her out of it, Maria was a very determined little girl. Her words to her mom were, "Mommy don't be sad some little girl can be happy that she will have curls to braid like you always braided mine." Maria is 4 and 1/2 years old and is the daughter of David and Cyndi Bleckler and sister of Zachary Bleckler all of Jackson, MO.
