I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research
For the 13th year I am raising money to help support research of children’s cancer. Personally cancer has had a huge impact on my life as both my parents lost their battles against cancer. I have seen first hand how horrible this disease can be and I can think of nothing worse than seeing a child have to face that battle so early in life. One of the most horrifying statistics about childhood cancer vs adult cancer is the average years of life lost. A child who is diagnosed with cancer loses an average of 71 years of their life. Many of these children will never get the chance to have the experiences that most of us take for granted. Even after successful treatment 2/3 of childhood cancer survivors face a secondary condition (i.e. heart damage, lung damage, etc)
Over 12 years I have raised $9309 to help support the research of children’s cancer. That money goes to helping fund research to find cures and treatments to children’s cancer. This year I’ve set my goal at $691 to reach a total of $10,000 raised. Last year St Baldricks was only able to fund 37% of the grant applications they received that received an outstanding score. Every dollar donated helps to fill that gap.
Please if you are able consider donating to my fund raising efforts.
Be it known to all that this participant has dedicated at least ten years of service to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation helping kids with cancer throughout all the land.
