Mika,

Nice idea! Better yet, march with pink wigs at a presidential-campaign-trail gathering point for even greater exposure, with HUGE signs that draw attention to breast cancer advocacy, prevention and research. You're brilliant!

Best,

Maria

How about marching bald!  Unless, of course, the weather is sunny or cold.  You don't realize how important hair is for protecting the scalp from the sun and for keeping you warm until you're bald.  Unfortunately, many insurance companies aren't very good about providing any kind of prosthesis, not just wigs.  My first insurance company paid for one prosthesis in full, but not for replacements.  I asked what they would do for little kids who were double amputees, and was told they got one per lifetime just like anyone else.  Other insurance policies I've had since then, have had varying policies, but have usually provided replacements once a year but not paying for the entire bill.  I wasn't covered for wigs.
