Keli's father is a brain cancer survivor. Brain cancer took away her father's freedom to get around because he isn't able to drive and it has taken away much of their time together because he ends up living where he works, due to that lack of freedom. Cancer makes Keli angry. In middle school, she shaved her head and donated her locks of hair to Wigs for Kids. Since her father's brain cancer diagnosis, cancer has taken away many friends and family. Now her close school friend, Kiersen, has a mother who is battling breast cancer.

Cancer keeps making Keli angry. Yesterday, she decided it was time to shave her head again, this time as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Keli asked that a dollar donation be made, for each of the six inches of hair shaved from her head. Like her mother Keri, who runs each day for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, raising money for Relay for Life as she runs, when cancer makes you angry, you do something about it. You do what you can. Keri runs. Keli donates her hair for wigs. Cancer can make us angry, but it does not have the power to defeat us, as Keli and Keri prove in exponential acts of giving.
