This section of pictures is very special to our
team. It carries the entire message of our team in
the meaning of the photos. When our Lead Driver and
Team Leader, Scott L Ritchie, returned to College to
continue work on his studies… not only did he earn
Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society Induction,
with his 3.70 Grade-Point-Average, he also took the
time to grow his hair for four straight years.
Some might ask why? Scott, in fitting with our
team’s over-all attitude towards helping others,
grew his hair (he normally shaves his head) to a
length of 14 inches. He did so in order to donate
this hair to the “Locks
of Love” program. This very important
program provides natural, human hair wigs to
children who have lost their hair to cancer
treatment and to other genetic anomalies. Rather
than wearing a hot and ill-fitting synthetic wig,
these children are provided with custom fit wigs
made of real human hair.
Although Scott was not too happy with putting up
with “a mop of angry hair” on his head for all those
years… the cause was definitely worth the effort and
sacrifice. SKR Rebel Racing is very proud of Scott
for making this generous donation and for allowing
us to use the photos that are posted below.
Initially, Scott did not want the pictures to be
added to our Race Team’s web-site. However, in order
to help to show just how far SKR Rebel Racing Team
Members will go, to support a worthy cause, he
relented and will forever “suffer the humiliation of
being seen in pigtails,” as he put it.
Here are the before, during and after pictures from
Scott’s donation to the “Locks of Love”
program. We hope that you get a smile out of them
and also consider donating your own hair to this
very worthy cause:
