I'm shaving my head with St. Baldrick's to raise money and help conquer kids' cancers! Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and 1 in 5 of those in the U.S. will not survive. I refuse to accept this reality, so I’ve decided to fundraise for lifesaving research to find cures and better treatments for kids.

Now I need your support! Your donation can fund research to help kids survive and thrive. Join me today and let’s #DFYchildhoodCancers together.

These are two reasons I beg and plead for donations every year:

Sammy Jo

For 5 years Samantha fought the cancer. In January the cancer ultimately won the body but not the person. Sam fought everyday with everything she had. Most days she had a smile on her face hiding the battle going on within. Her smile made us forget her pain and had a way of healing us. Those of us honored to have known Sam are better for her being in our life. While we are still crying about our loss we are remembering to smile. So today and every day, share a little bit of Sam with everyone. Smile at them and make their day a little better.
