September 15, 2007:
Please participate in the October 28th Salon Khouri cut-a-thon to raise money and awareness for Taylor Love, a 2 1/2 year old Ashburn resident, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at 17 months of age.

Around Christmas of 2006, Taylor's parents notied a minor bruise near one of her eyes and that the other eye did not "look right." Her parents made sure that the pediatrician and an ophthalmologist were consulted as quickly as possible. Within days, the level of concern had escalated and she was admitted to the Childrens' National Medical Center in Washington, DC. On January 3, 2007, Taylor began aggressive chemotherapy and has been fighting for her life ever since.

On September 10, 2007, Taylor's dad and four other fathers with children fighting neuroblastoma set out to cycle 3700 miles across the United States from Sacramento, California to Washington, DC to raise awareness and money for cutting edge treatments that can be used to combat neuroblastoma. Read more about thier journey on the Lonliest Road website.

The story inspired the team at Salon Khouri to do something to help. They have scheduled a Cut-a-Thon for Sunday, October 28, 2007 from 12 noon to 4 PM. Haircuts by donation will be $25, or as much as you feel you can give. 100% of all funds collected will go the Grace Oughton Cancer Foundation. Our goal is to raise $4000!

Below are some fast facts on how neuroblastoma affect our children:

• Each year about 600 children in the United States will develop neuroblastoma.
• Pediatric cancer is the #1 killer of our children in the United States.
• Only 3 - 5 million dollars is currently needed to make improvements on existing antibody therapies that can save childrens' lives who are affected with neuroblastoma.

To participate, please call Salon Khouri at 703.273.7878 or email the salon via our contact page. If you cannot participate but would still like to contribute, you can drop checks off at the salon made payable to the Grace oughton Cancer Foundation with "The Loneliest Road" in the memo portion, or you can donate online via the Lonliest Road website.
