Thank you for visiting my St. Baldrick's Day webpage! This will be the eighth year that I go bald for this extraordinary foundation. I am shaving my head in solidarity with all the children who have lost their hair in the fight against cancer, and to raise money for life-saving research so that someday children won't need to fight that fight anymore. 

As in past years, I am fundraising as part of the amazing St. Baldrick's Day event at Finn McCool's bar in mid-city New Orleans, which this year will be on March 25th. I won't be able to attend in person because I'll be working in Brazil, but you should still go if you can. Finn's puts on a great party for a great cause, with music, drinks, silent auction, raffle, and of course lots of people having fun and going bald (maybe even you!).

This year I am fundraising in honor of Daniel Wedge of New Orleans, a six-year old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I don't know Daniel personally but his story, like that of so many kids with cancer, inspires me with his strength, positivity, and courage in the face of fear and pain. You can read more about Daniel by clicking the link below. 

This year I am also honoring the memory of my father, Wayne, who passed away last year after a ten-year battle with colon cancer. 

The St. Baldrick's foundation has raised hundreds of millions of dollars, and Finn McCool's has raised hundreds of thousands, for pediatric cancer research through these head shaving events. Research that extends, improves, and saves lives. But of course none of this would be possible without you. I hope you will join me in supporting this cause by making a tax-deductible donation, by getting shaved yourself, or just by spreading the word. However you choose to help, I thank you in advance. Together we can create a world free of childhood cancers.
