THANK YOU TO EVERYONE

WHO HAS DONATED SO GENEROUSLY!


THANK YOU TO THOSE

WHO ARE NEW DONORS!


THANK YOU TO THOSE

WHO ARE CONSIDERING BEING SHAVEES NEXT YEAR!


MY HEAD IS NOW SHAVED!


There is still time to donate. It is never too late!


Yes, I have reached my fundraising goal but your donation, small or large, is still needed. As far as I know, the cure to cancer has not been found so more research needs to be funded. Each and every donation will make a difference! 


Yes, I am SHAVED. Unfortunately, while you are visiting this website and reading this message most probably a child, in our world, will be diagnosed with cancer. Help fund research that will hopefully save their life! In addition, let us not forget the adults fighting cancer. Please keep reading my original message below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives.


Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever. St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants. Unfortunately, the pandemic has slashed donations, slowing down the progress to find cures.


Cancer kills more kids than any other disease. Research can change that, and I don’t want to let these kids down.


Once again, I am doing a solo shave this year. This will be my 6th year raising funds for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Thanks to everyone who has donated in the past years. Once again, this year, Roland, my brother-in-law, will be shaving my head on Saturday, March 4th at 7pm.


Now I need your support! Your donation will fund research to help kids survive and thrive. Every donation, small or large will make a difference. Can you help? I thank you in advance for your support during this difficult time in our world.


If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
