In 2015, there will be 231,840 new cases of  women with invasive breast cancer and 60,290 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.  One of the many side effects of treatment for cancer includes hair loss.  Tigerlily Foundation and High Definition Hair®  are partnering to provide a lucky winner with a custom wig from High Definition Hair®, a wig maker that creates luxurious, natural and individually molded hair units unlike any other on  the market, offering a luxurious, natural and individually molded hair unit for users.  The  contest is open to young breast cancer survivors between the ages of 15 - 45.

This is a life-affirming way to help women feel good about themselves, and feel that cancer, their new normal, can’t just take away their identity.”
 

Nicole Paul, the founder of High Definition Hair®, agreed, and said, “Battling breast cancer is very draining, and something as simple as helping women look like themselves will help them in feeling more empowered and less helpless during their journey.”
