I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team AYA

I'm shaving my head to raise money for Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) cancer research! Childhood and AYA cancer research is extremely underfunded, so I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures. Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? I'm shaving because St. Baldrick's provides funding for important research that otherwise would not be able to get off the ground. In 2012, I was awarded the St. Baldrick's Foundation Subspecialty Fellowship Award for Adolescent & Young Adult Oncology. This Fellowship has been essential to my research career. St. Baldrick's has provided me with the security to focus completely on my investigation of osteosarcoma, a cancer that kills far too many adolescents and young adults. Cancer affects teenagers and young adults more often than young children, but these in-between aged people have lower survival rates than kids. I am a doctor that specializes in treating these patients. I also conduct lab research, where I am studying a bone cancer (osteosarcoma) that occurs in teens. This same cancer affects pet dogs too. I test drugs in a lab to see which ones kill the most tumor cells and then investigate why they work in hopes that it will help both kids and dogs with this tumor survive. The goal of my research is to improve the chance of survival for each patient with osteosarcoma by identifying new molecularly-targeted treatments that will be effective for the general population of osteosarcoma patients, while also designing personalized targeted treatment regimens for patients with relapsed disease. Thank you for your financial support, thank you for your encouragement, and thank you for recognizing the importance of pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer research!
