Rachel's Legacy

I love this story and was pulled into it the moment I heard it on the news.  It's about a selfless little girl who, at age 5, 
donated her hair to locks of love 
and then went on to celebrate her 9th birthday 
by asking others to donate to charity:water in lieu of presents.  
The organization provides clean water 
to those who don't have access to it in Africa.  
A month later, Rachel was killed in a car accident.
  As word spread of her story, 
she ended up raising 1 million dollars for charity:water.
Her heart of compassion lives on.  

Here's a link to her story:
I hope that you are moved by her too!
