I've answered the call to be a hero! I shaved my head a second time this year to stand in solidarity with kids like Gus who are fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures.

Last Tuesday morning I introduced Sully from DaveFM to my school & explained why this is important to me. I don't know what it's like to have cancer & no kid should have to!

Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U. S. government. Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers. So when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!
