Every 3½ minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. Every 4 hours a child loses their life. On October 8th around noon I will be shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research! If you are able please donate money, we also hope you'll join us at UNM on the 8th. (More event details to come) Your support means a lot to us and we hope you can join us for a celebration of life! A little more about St . Baldricks: St. Baldrick’s organizes events where volunteers shave their heads to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer. St. Baldrick’s is proof that one person, one shaved head or even one dollar can make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Each year 160,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer. About one in 300 boys and one in 333 girls will develop cancer before their 20th birthday. In the United States, childhood cancer kills more children than any other disease – more than AIDS, asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and congenital combined. With the money we raise The St. Baldrick’s Foundation provides grants to over 230 institutions for laboratory research and to help make clinical trials available to more children than ever, giving those children treatment that offers the best chance for a cure and long-term survival.
