I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Lincoln 7

I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! 

Three years ago, I was a shavee and one of the top fundraisers at Lincoln Middle School because I wanted to do something to help kids with cancer. Just 11 days after I shaved my head, I was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Due to some pretty devastating side effects of treatment, I am currently paralysed from the neck down, I use a ventilator to breathe, and I can't talk, swallow or eat. I try not to let all of that slow me down and am currently a freshman in high school.  

I was excited when Lincoln Middle School invited me back to participate in this year's St. Baldrick's fundraiser and hope to help the Lincoln/Emerson Baldies break past fundraising records. 

Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, young adults, and teens like me fighting childhood cancers.
