Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.

Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.

Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

MY GOAL: My goal is $3210, because with that goal, my 7-year fundraising total for St. Baldrick's will reach $20,000 total- and you can help me get there!  Click "Donate" to give today!

MY HONORED KIDS: I've chosen one brave survivor from each of the places I've lived- because cancer impacts kids everywhere, and research helps EVERYONE!

Whether you're a friend of a friend (or a friend of my wife); a classmate from BCSD, MSU, or BU; a friend from NY, MI, or WI; former and fellow teachers and colleagues; parents of students and former students; or family members - thank you for making this tradition a joyful celebration of collective giving!
