The event was to raise USD $100,000 dollars which was later given to the St. Bordeaux Helix Foundation to support the treatment of childhood cancer.

Marley-chan really appreciated the support of her classmates.

Coming back to school without any hair, I thought that I would feel uncomfortable but so many people made me feel so relaxed and happy. I really appreciate everyone’s kindness and support.
