Ashlynn Geringer, a 4-year-old Lumpkin County girl who has leukemia, received an interesting birthday present Saturday: a family friend’s hair. The event, titled “Going Bald for a Cause,” raised awareness and funds to help Ashlynn’s family cope with the costs of her cancer treatment. “A lot of the reason why I felt strongly about doing this is because my uncle was diagnosed with cancer when I was little,” said Jennifer Ochs, who donated her hair and helped coordinate Saturday’s event.
