Haircut honors Mitzi Bault, creates a wig for a child with cancer Mitzi McKinley Bault had hugs and laughter for her big brother, Mark, who gave up half of his two-foot long hair braid in honor of Mitzi's battles with cancer. Stylist Amanda Keltner cut 12 inches off the long braid, and she will be sending Mark's hair to the children's foundation where a wig will be created for a child with cancer. By Linda Waggener As do the others who know her, I marvel at my husband's sister Fay's youngest daughter, Mitzi McKinley Bault, a successful business woman, an active daughter, mom, grandmom, sister, niece, friend, a lifetime partner of Ricky Bault -- and a five-time cancer survivor. Five. I admire her courage, her style and class and I wonder how on earth she does it. How does she always manage to bring gifts to family and friends, always thinking of others? How has she gone through being within a whisper of death and making the long journey back in her own her health walk, while surviving the losses of family members that she's had to, and still be able to stand back up and press onward? Mitzi would say that it is in great part because of the strength she's drawn from everyone around her. That was demonstrated last week when her generous big brother, Mark, gave up half of his two-foot long hair braid in her honor and gave her a mile-wide smile in the process. Mitzi's cancer fight has meant she's had to go through losing all of her hair -- three times. Her hair is growing back in now, short and pixi-ish, thick and curly. Mark teased her that she had the haircut he should have while he had the long locks that should be hers. Mark's last haircut was five years ago and his hair had gotten so long that it would catch under his backside when he sat down. Stylist Amanda Keltner did Marks haircut, taking off 12 inches of the long braid, and she will be sending Mark's hair to the children's foundation wig program where a wig will be created for a child with cancer. Mark put on his facebook page with the fun photos documenting his haircut, "My little sis . . . keep fighting girl." Mitzi said, "If we can put a man on the moon, we can cure cancer." She's right.
