In late 2013 South African woman Gerdi McKenna was diagnosed with cancer.
Last month, her friends got in touch with a local charity called Caring Daisies to plan a photo shoot for McKenna.
When it came time for Gerdi to get her picture taken, her friends had already taken some very special pictures of their own... each of them sporting a very different new look.
Photographer Albert Bredenhann captured the amazing day on video and shared it on Vimeo in a post titled 'Anything For Love'.
All of the hair was donated to the Cancer Association of South Africa.
Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to weep in a corner for a while. This is so beautiful.
