Mariana Medrano, a first-grader at Villalovoz School, recently donated 11 inches of her hair to Locks of Love, inspired by friend and classmate Kylie Pederson. Kylie is in remission from Ewing’s sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. Mariana’s mother, Kim Medrano, said it was her daughter’s first haircut.
