The "Hats of Hope" Story...
When Kaylee Shirrell (a Girl Scout from Brownsburg, Indiana) learned that her grandmother had cancer two years ago, she knitted a wool hat to keep her head warm during chemotherapy. "She cherished that gift," Kaylee says. "Then I started thinking about all the other cancer patients who could benefit from a hat." That thought turned into "Hats Of Hope" (and eventually a Gold Award Girl Scout Project)a project in which volunteers knit hats and place them in cancer centers. Kaylee eventually hopes to start a program in every state.
