The St. Baldrick’s community is giving two thumbs up because $2 million has been raised to support childhood cancer research!

Michael Fiscus, Romeo, Mich. volunteer event organizer, shares with us how being a St. Baldrick’s volunteer has impacted his life and reveals how long he will continue to support the cause:

“Having the opportunity and privilege to volunteer for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation has had a major impact in my life. I have been fortunate to work with the most amazing team of volunteers, building a massive movement in our community. For us, it takes a village to conquer kids’ cancer.

“The work of St. Baldrick’s brings hope to more and more families every year. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a cancer survivor, especially a child. As those numbers continue to grow, the pride in my community grows. That is kept in perspective by the knowledge that we still have a long way to go. Someone recently asked how long I will be doing this; I paused and said, ‘When we conquer this.’”

The Village of Romeo will host its annual head-shaving event on Saturday, March 16th. With a goal of raising $300,000, five hundred local heroes are expected to come out for the main event and shave their heads to prove that it takes everyone to help Conquer Childhood Cancers!
