Hey all, Tony here. I have only had my head shaved once, and it was because I fidgeted during a haircut. This time, it’s for something bigger. Something less mistaken. This is for solidarity and to spread love. A lot of you most likely know someone who has or has had cancer. These people are currently fighting for their lives. These people deserve peace, they deserve hope, and joy. The tough part is that some of these people are children. Around and below my age, dealing with a robbery of their freedom, joy, and health. I want to be a bald beacon of hope for these children. For the people who love these children, and for everyone else. I want my head to shine brighter than the sun so that these children’s smiles shine. I want to look goofy and show my love to these kids, because they deserve it.
It reminds me of “These Days” by the Foo Fighters. I’ve been through plenty and will go through plenty in my life. I’ve been hurt, betrayed, and disrespected and I will be again. Though it hurts in the moment, eventually I’ll be back on top. I make the most of my life because I acknowledge that my life has no limits. But I want to take a second to appreciate those who have limits, who are stuck, who can’t accept their situation. I want to raise money for and awareness of these children. I want to give them something physical to show my support and love. Even through these struggles, why not make the most of our lives, cancer or not? Let’s give unto others and let people know that we’re in their corner. Let’s raise some money to give these kids hope. Let’s raise money to give these kids unlimited freedom.
