Long ponytail will benefit 'Locks of Love'

Asa Packer Mansion tour guide Alex Izzo volunteered to have his long locks of hair cut to be donated to Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children

suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Alex sat down at the Asa Packer Mansion in Jim Thorpe, where he is a tour guide, to have his aunt,

beautician Margaret Diehm, do the honor of snipping off a 16-inch length of his hair. His donation will help to return a sense of self-confidence and normalcy to these

children suffering from hair loss.
