Emma is a passionate advocate for children facing medical challenges. While attending The Ohio State University, she founded Wigs For Kids at OSU—a student-led group dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children experiencing medical-related hair loss. She served as the club’s founding president, with Zach as the group’s founding treasurer.
Today, both Emma and Zach have graduated but continue to give. Emma continues her commitment as a nurse in a pediatric oncology unit, and Zach has been by her side every step of the way, supporting her mission to help kids in need.
Recently, both Emma and Zach donated their hair. “We’re excited to make a difference in so many different ways,” Emma shared.
Emma shared her hair with us at Wigs For Kids, and since Zach’s hair was too short to meet our donation requirements, he shared his with the environmental nonprofit Matter Of Trust.
We are honored to have the continued support of this dynamic duo!
