Thanks for visiting my St. Baldrick's page! I initially considered taking 2017 off from "the shave" and then found out that my friend's young daughter (Breslyn) was diagnosed with Leukemia. As a result, I've decided to dedicate this years efforts to Breslyn and her mother, Laura. 

This year I've increased my goal to $5000 - and have also come up with a couple of incentives.  If I can raise $5000 (before the shave), I will get personalized Iowa State license plates for my car. If you know me, then you know that this goes against my Black and Gold allegiance - but it's for a good cause.  I've included some sample plates below to show you what I'm thinking.

If I can raise $10,000 (before the shave) - I will get an Iowa State tattoo on my shoulder. This isn't a temporary tattoo, but a tattoo that will be with me until the end of time! While my Hawkeye brothers & sisters (and wife) may not approve - I'm hoping this incentive will help rally at least half of the state :).

Donations of any size are welcome and appreciated and will go directly to fighting this terrible disease! Thank you for your time and consideration!
