I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Bald Mafia

This past year has been a whirlwind. Once again I added more names to the friends and family who had cancer. Hannah Barta Brooks & J. Love, family friends won their battle with cancer! Our dear friend, Barb Swerling did not. As always I try to do my best to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research. My goal has always been "If we can cure cancer in the young, then we will have cured cancer in all!" This all started with my personal fight with cancer at age two. That is when my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She died when I was four. In 2011, my sister lost her battle with cancer. The same type of cancer that took our friend Barb this year. What's worse is when you see a child go through this. To see the terror in their face because they don’t understand why or what is happening to them. To watch a mother or father as they feel helpless and at times, hopeless. You can see the look on their face when they are out of the sight of their stricken child. The deflation after having to hold it together to be strong for their kid. As a parent, this is what kills me the most. I began shaving my head 9 years ago to honor our friend's son, Jackson Reeves. I have linked the the story about Jackson and my son that made me start this trek with St. Baldrick’s. When you realize the pain that families go through and the battle that these young kids fight every day, it brings tears to my eyes. This 240 pound man is reduced to a babbling, crying mess….Yes I'm a softy! It really puts things in perspective. When you think about how bad your day is, keep these kids in mind. Yep…my problems are minor. Since St. Baldrick's started, the 10 year survival rate for kids with cancer has gone from 20% to over 60%! So often we forget our blessings until we sit down and really reflect on them. So I'm asking you to share this story. If you feel so inclined, make a donation. I'll take $5, $10, $100 whatever but sharing the story of St. Baldrick’s and helping these kids is most important. It is all going to help kids with cancer...and that's good enough for me!
