I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Tyriffic

I'm raising 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.

In this day of divisions along the lines of socioeconomics, race, age, gender, sexuality, political parties, appearance, or whatever else… the one thing that crosses every single one of those lines is cancer. Every day, forty three children are diagnosed with this life-altering disease, and (on average) five of them will lose the battle that then lies ahead of them. Even when a child survives the disease and treatments, there are often lasting effects as a result of the medical process of defeating cancer- ones which usually require lifelong follow ups.

The reason I chose St. Baldrick’s it two-fold. 1- the funding they provide in the form of grants is going directly to researchers. For every dollar donated, about 77 cents go to the research programs. There’s research every day that is working not only on more efficient treatments, but ones that are easier on the patients. and 2- A bald head (especially on a woman) is something that can start conversations. Conversations start ideas. Ideas start change. If there’s something childrens’ oncology needs, it’s change. For me this is a no-brainer.
