The Dynamic Duo is back for year 4!!

Matthew and Teacher Slad have been raising money for St. Baldrick's for 3 years in a row!  Matthew has become a very good barber, and has even braved the shave himself!  His story is the one that is dear to this team's heart, and why we fundraise for St. Baldrick's each year:

(From Matthew's Mom): Matthew was born on 12-11-11 and at 4 days old was undergoing his 1st brain surgery to address fluid on his brain. During the operation doctors found much more than fluid--Matthew was born with a high grade glioma brain tumor. Matthew has defied every odd in every medical book in the country. He has undergone 2 partial tumor resections, 6 total surgeries and 5 rounds of chemo. After only 5 rounds of chemo, Matthew's tumor has remained stable through 3 MRI's. Matthew has not had chemo since August 13, 2011--something no one could have predicted but something that thousands of people have prayed for.

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

A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!

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.

Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
