I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: MARCH MADNESS 6

This is my 13th year shaving my head for St. Baldricks and I am so looking forward to our event on March 25th, 2023 in Rockville Centre NY, joined once again by the awesome "March Madness" team!


But honestly... this isn't about me...


Please look at the photos of my "honored kids" below -- THEY are what this is all about and THEY are why I continue to do this year after year. Many are Rockville Centre residents. Some are cancer free or NED ("no evidence of disease") after treatment, some are angels who graced this earth for too short a time... 


As a mother and cancer survivor myself, my heart breaks thinking of what these children have endured, remembering those whose lives were stolen by cancer, all I can say is THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I can't accept this reality and I refuse to accept this reality. Help me change this!


Fourteen years ago in 2009 I shaved my head for the first time, in Rockville Centre. Just weeks before I had been diagnosed with "advanced aggressive" throat (tonsil) cancer, and I was determined to "make lemonade" when life handed me lemons... I am so grateful for the last 14 years, and for the support of so many family, friends, church family and business associates who have given so generously year after year every march, allowing me to raise over $130,000 since 2009.


Cancer is relentless. It doesn't take a vacation, or a day off, or a holiday. It is merciless and unrelenting. But I am equally determined to continue supporting the St. Baldrick's Foundation and, along with my amazing team, will "Brave the Shave" once again to "Conquer Kid's Cancer."


Your gift will give kids hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants.

Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. I don’t want to let these kids down. Can you help? Thank you!
