Yep - I'm going to do it again! I'm going to shave my head to raise money to help St. Baldrick's fight childhood cancer. I never like getting my haircut so my family was shocked when I said that I was going to have my head shaved AGAIN! I did this last year and it was really a great experience. I had a lot of support and everyone was very generous. It felt great to be able to help out a cause that means so much to me.
When I was four year old, I had an accident and hurt my head. I spent some time in ICU and had to have a small part of my hair shaved. I remember how I kept trying to cover up that spot. Even after I left the hospital and got better, that spot was still there to remind me of my accident. While I was in the ICU, there was a two-year-old girl there who had lost all of her hair because of her cancer medicine. I thought about her a lot as I waited for my hair to grow back. I wondered how she was doing.
I was very lucky. All my bruises healed and all my hair grew back. But I know there are lots of kids who are not that lucky. That is why this charity means so much to me and why this St. Patrick's Day I will be a part of the St. Baldrick's event at my school. Please support me and help me reach my goal by making a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. It is easy to make your donation on line. Just click on "Make a donation" on my page. You can also pledge your support by mail, on line, or by phone. No amount is too small and every dollar is much appreciated.
