“Together We Are Stronger”

After 3 years of not cutting her hair, Sandra from our Strasbourg, France location, donated 47cm of it to the non-profit association “Solidhair”.

This association’s mission is to help cancer patients as well as provide financial aid to patients and their families in need.

It has always been a desire of hers to donate her hair to cancer patients since it is a personal subject close to home for her and her family.

We are proud that Sandra is part of the CEPA team!
