I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: The F Cancer Crew

Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because with your donation “on my head,” together, we can save lives.

 Because my aunt Cindy fought pancreatic cancer for years—beating statistics and astonishing doctors. This shave is for her. She kept a positive attitude and lived fully, even when every day felt exhausting and heavy. 

***

  Research in pediatric cancers can lead to breakthroughs in all cancers and better treatment protocols. 

Kids aren’t just tiny humans that can handle adult medicines—they often tolerate chemo and radiation better than adult patients as they have nothing to compare it to. 

Research is hope for kids with cancer, but donations to find cures have been down since 2020.

Your gift will give kids hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity 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!
