My name is Jonathan and I am 12 years old. My big sister Jennifer passed away from DIPG, a terminal brain tumor.  I feel mad and sad at the same time about Jennifer. I miss her a lot and wonder what it would be like if she was still here. She was my best friend. 

I started growing my hair out to donate over 4 years ago. Growing it out made me feel like I was actually doing something instead of just sitting there. It has taken me a really long time to truly feel ready to cut it. 

But I am now. 

My goal is to raise 6 thousand dollars because I lost Jennifer when she was 6. And then get it matched to become 12 since I am 12 (when I started this) and she died on the 12th. 

Thanks so much for helping!
