Philadelphia PA, Area Recapping this year's incredible Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the 7th Annual Wigs & Wishes Gala and elegant fashion prosthetics for women from Amoena!
Some of the most psyche challenging issues for women cancer survivors is the loss of hair and the removal of breasts or breast tissue (lumpectomy). Each of these changes can make a woman feel like she has lost some of her personal, feminine identity. Starting with her crowning glory, celebrity hairstylist and HSN favorite, Martino Cartier answered the call for women and children wishing to "look cancer-free" while battling this disease. He first founded "Friends are by Your Side" from which Wigs and Wishes emerged. Working with Follea Wigs and numerous hair salons across the country, Martino styles and Follea donates beautiful European Hair Wigs for women and children chemotherapy patients each year. Can you imagine what an incredible confidence booster this is?
