I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

As a parent, I can't imagine anything more heartbreaking than a seriously ill child. I've lost a family member to cancer, and I wish that never had to happen to anyone- especially a child. That's why I support St. Baldrick's. This is my third year fundraising for St. Baldrick's, and this year, I decided to up the ante a little. Instead of growing my hair out until the shaving event, I’m keeping my head shaved UNTIL the event- April 27th, 2013. That’s right, I’ll be a baldy for the rest of the winter (as wintry as it gets in Central NC, anyway.) I’ve noticed that I get lots of attention and comments after I shave my head, and even additional donations from strangers once I tell them why I’m bald. I’m hoping that my bald head will be both a conversation starter with strangers (thanks to my trusty “Ask Me Why I’m Bald” St. Baldrick’s button!) and a reminder to friends to donate if they can. It’s also a virtual fist bump to all those folks with cancer who don’t get to choose whether or not they’re bald, and a reminder to me every time I look in the mirror of what really important in life, and what we’re fundraising and fighting for. So when you see my bald head the next few weeks, feel free to ask me about it! I’ll happily tell you how fundraising is going, what St. Baldrick’s is all about, and how you can help, if you would like. I’m looking forward to spreading the word every chance I get (and I promise not to harass you about it if you don’t ask!) Thank you so much for your past and continued support!
