Each year, 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada and is also one of the most under-funded areas of research. The St. Baldrick's Foundation funds more childhood cancer research grants than any other private foundation. Research Saves Lives!
The St Baldrick's Foundation quickly grew into the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising program for childhood cancer research, and today the St. Baldrick's Foundation funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government. Since 2000, more than 189,660 volunteers -- including over 17,200 women -- have shaved in solidarity with children with cancer at events in dozens of countries and every U.S. state. Thanks to generous friends and family, these shavees have raised over $117 million for life-saving research, and each is a walking billboard for the cause!
Help me fight this disease by supporting me and my team as we shave our heads in solidarity with children with cancer. Any support, regardless of the amount is greatly appreciated. Whether you can donate or not, if you can also pass this on to a friend it would be greatly appreciated.
