It’s no secret — here at St. Baldrick’s, we adore our amazing shavees℠ and everything they do to help fund childhood cancer research. We couldn’t do it without them! And we’re not the only ones who feel that way — read on to find out why our Honored Families and Ambassadors love St. Baldrick’s shavees.
“I love St. Baldrick’s shavees because they are brave enough to have a bald head just to help kids like me. They truly model what our founders stand for and the reason research is so successful. Without them, lifesaving research would not be possible.” — 2017 Ambassador Emily
“When Kylee was seven years old, her Dad and his friends shaved their heads to help children like her who were battling childhood cancer. After she watched them all shave, Kylee declared that she would be shaving at the St. Baldrick’s event the following year.
Sadly, Kylee passed away before she could. She lost her battle, but we continue to fight in her honor. Kylee never wanted another child to have to go through what she went through.” — Julie LeSourd, mom of Honored Kid Kylee
“I love that shavees have a big heart, shave their head to make bald cancer kids feel less alone and collect donations to this amazing organization.” — 2017 Ambassador Abby

“When I was diagnosed at ten years old, my life turned upside down. This year, in celebration of my 25th year cancer free, my husband and I are shaving our heads for St. Baldrick’s. There is nothing more important to me than standing alongside children whose battles I wholeheartedly understand.
On behalf of the hundreds of cancer survivors I have had the pleasure and honor to know and remember through this simple act, I say thank you to St. Baldrick’s and to the many who share a piece of themselves for this incredible cause.” — Honored Kid Nora Morris Kulkarni
“I love St. Baldrick’s shavees because I know the money they raise is going to go into the next phase of research, and I knew that if Justin ever relapsed, we would need more options.
Justin loved shavees because they helped earn money for research so other kids wouldn’t have to experience all the pain and sickness he and his friends experienced. No child should lose their best friend to cancer.” — Lori Ahern, mom of 2012 Ambassador Justin
