One Volunteer goes above and beyong

      James Rooff from Waterloo, Iowa a volunteer member of the Foundation for Safer Housing, owner of Milestone Home Inspection, LLC and NACHI home inspector, made a promise to a friend and himself that he would help someone. 

     When a friend of his contracted cancer and saw what the treatments can do to an individual he took a bold and unusual step forward. In a personal project that he named "Twenty Years or Twenty Four Inches", it was time to give the gift of hair. 

     What a project it turned out to be! After twenty years of growth it was finally time to let those precious strands to find a new owner. James along with several other friends took to the streets on a sponsoring champaign. James was able to personally generate $1,185.00 and the group with the public shaving generated a whopping $19,000.00 to the Childrens Miracle Network and the Locks of Love Program.

     For those that believe that one person can not make a difference you might want to take a look at the following pictures

After 20 years it is time to say good-bye to an old friend.

After 23 1/2 inches worth of hair.

     Thos was an absolute labor of love and dedication to others. When he asked how he felt ater cutting, James said" Oh by the way Damn, it's colder out."
