I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research

Those that know me well know that one of the most important questions I like to pose and understand starts with WHY!  So, why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

What started as a challenge amongst friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. Care is critical in the true path to address symptoms but to truly eradicate the diagnosis of an illness requires identification of the root cause and the changes that need to take place to reverse or change their course in support of the optimal outcome.

1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? Greater 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.

Our donations and efforts support 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!
