Israel donated nearly 117 pounds of hair to cancer patients on Monday. The donation set a record for most donations in a single drive, Israel Hayom reports.
The Zichron Menachem Association for the Support of Children with Cancer and their Families, working in conjunction with the Pantene company, organized the drive that collected the record-breaking amount of hair.
Among the donors were three sisters whose father is battling cancer, and a young girl who had recovered from the disease and donated the wig she wore during her illness.
Even after making their way into the Guinness records in only five hours, the drive will continue throughout November at hair salons all over Israel. Donors' hair is cut for free.
