A Lifetime of Laughter, Joy, and Love: Holden’s Story
Holden loved every minute of his almost-seven years of life. Now, his family and friends are raising money for childhood cancer research to help other kids like him. His mom, Miriam, tells his story.
Holden was 3 when he was diagnosed with Wilms tumor, a type of childhood cancer.
At first the oncologists told us, “If your child has to get a cancer, this is the best one,” though I would never put the words “best” and “cancer” in the same thought as my son. Pathology results later showed Holden had stage IV Wilms tumor with “diffuse anaplasia,” or “unfavorable histology.” The thumbnail sketch is that it is an all-or-nothing battle, and there is not a second chance if you don’t win with your first offense.
How One Man’s Beard Raised More than $1,000 to Help Kids With Cancer
After one head-shaving event, Otto Mayes realized that shaving his head just wasn’t for him. So, he found another way to raise more than $1,000 for childhood cancer research, and he shared the message of the St. Baldrick’s Foundation with countless people in the process.
Last winter, Otto started to grow a beard. As his facial hair got longer and longer, the comments from friends and coworkers followed suit. There was so much interest in the fate of his beard that Otto decided to create a new fundraiser for St. Baldrick’s: “Otto’s Beard: Save it or Shave it.”
From the start of the St. Baldrick’s fundraiser (left) to six months later (right), Otto’s beard grew without a single trim.
