Largest RedHead Gathering

If you have a natural red hair then you really do not have to worry. It means you have opportunity knocking at your door as Sammamish Photographer Anne Lindsay ropes in for the Largest Gathering of Redheads. But the fame and joy also comes with a pinch of salt. The natural red hair persons have a high risk of being diagnosed with Skin cancer. Lindsay had planned to donate 50 cents from each $5 to the Skin Cancer foundation. So it was all decided that those who wished to take part had to get themselves registered at www.redheadsandmoreredheads.com after which they would  subsequently receive  a signed digital photo for the event.

The world record  norms insisted that each participant provided a photo of himself or herself  to prove that she/he was a natural red head. Lindsay felt that to have a natural red hair gets a international touch. Her husband, daughter and dog all sport a  red hair. Lindsay has a book  with  amazing stories of people with beautiful photographs of red heads. She added that she was in search of unique red heads with their unique stories and if she found them she would clear her books to photograph them and include their tales in her literary  yet creative work. Till date Lindsay has photographed 150 red heads and plans to photograph many more.

The world record was the first  annual Red Heads and more Red Heads Day. Anne Lindsay gathered 901 red heads to call it as the Largest Redhead Gathering at Skyline High School.

In the United States it is usually estimated that atleast 2% to 6 % of the population have red hair. This data would take the total red head population to 6 to 18 million only in the U.S

The largest gathering of redheads stood at 901 persons sporting a natural red hair at Sammamish, Washington, United States of America on October 1,2010.
