Waitress Fired for Going Bald for Cancer

Stacey Fearnall thought she was doing a good thing when she raised $2,700 by donating her hair to a cancer research charity.

Instead, she was shocked to learn that her good deed wouldn't only go unrecognized, but that she'd lose her job because of it.

"I honestly can't believe this has happened," Fearnall told Canada's CTV.

Fearnall, 36, had been working as a waitress at Nathaniel's restaurant in her hometown of Owen Sound, Ontario, when she was told not to come back to work -- at least not until her hair grows back.

"It's ridiculous that I would be punished for doing a good thing," Fearnall, who declined to be interviewed by ABCNEWS.com, told CTV. Reached by telephone, Fearnall's husband, John, told ABCNEWS.com that his wife was no longer speaking out about her firing because she'd "had enough."
