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

 This is my story: 
At 7 years old, I was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. It turned my life upside down but I wouldn’t let it keep me down. I fought and kicked its butt and am determined to not have other kids go through what I had to do. I asked my school if we could begin a St. Baldrick’s event 3 years ago and it gets bigger each year. This year I am graduating and want it to be the biggest yet. I have not been bald since I lost my hair ten years ago, but this year I want to raise lots of money and show the world what a survivor looks like. 

Help me make my senior year fundraising bigger than ever with a promise to keep the tradition going beyond my graduation. 

This is the story behind St. Baldrick’s: 
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!
