I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures. Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
While I decided long ago to participate this year, the cause has recently taken on a much greater meaning in my life due to a personal connection. My nephew, known fondly as "Little J", was diagnosed with an Adrenocortical Tumor in November - just a month before his third birthday. Luckily the tumor was found early and removed successfully in Lurie Hospital at the end of the month and he was home in time for his birthday at the beginning of November.
While this cause was already important to me, it went to a whole new level once it affected my family directly. Thankfully we can now say that Little J was treated successfully, but it's time to do something so more people can experience these same positive outcomes for their own families.
If you're able, please donate to this great cause. Thank you in advance for your support.
