Kids Key to Awesomeness: Natalie is spending the summer growing her hair long so that she can donate it to Locks of Love. It will probably be long enough by September. Locks of Love provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Donations are used to create high quality hair prosthetics.

Natalie is a born hair stylist, and has a strong sense of fashion as well. She likes to sing, dance, swim and enjoys Tae Kwon Do. She is also a well-behaved student in school.
