When I was five, I asked Cindy, who cut my hair, if she could buzz it so that I could look like my brother. To which she responded, "I will never shave your head." She never did... and I was thankful she had refused to do so.
I am cringing thinking about losing all of my long blond locks, as some of us look less-than-fantastic... bald. However, thousands of children (and adults, for that matter), lose their hair every year while going through chemotherapy. Unlike me, it is not their choice to lose their hair, but rather an assumed piece of their fight. Along with my brother, Nick, and other brave volunteers, I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures. 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 (or how much you're willing to pay to see me bald), I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you!
