Hats & Hope

Each morning, there’s one item Amy Turner chooses from her wardrobe before anything else: a hat.

It’s a habit she began during chemotherapy treatments as a way to feel more comfortable with the side effect of hair loss, and she has continued the tradition ever since.

“I never thought I looked good in hats before, but with a bald head they fit a little better and make me feel good,” Turner said. “I probably bought 15 to 20 hats, so I had options to choose from. In the morning when I’m getting dressed, it’s not a matter of what I have to wear, it’s a matter of what hat do I want to wear and what’s going to match it.”
