Come be a part of the 25th year of St. Baldrick’s volunteers working to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!


Thank You all for your continued support in helping me make a difference in the lives of kids like myself who are diagnosed with this horrible disease. Together we can make a difference and I thank you for helping me make this event a success!

Always, Christian


After returning from my Junior year of college I began experiencing excruciating headaches. After a second trip to the hospital the doctors found a tumor mass behind the frontal lobe of my head the size of a small apple. After a few days in the hospital the doctors were ready to operate. It took back to back brain surgeries totaling over 10 hours to remove the mass in my head. Biopsy revealed the mass was a Glioblastoma Tumor, an aggressive and dangerous type of brain tumor. The news was shocking but with a positive attitude I went into treatment headstrong. After my first round of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation I decided to return to college and finish my Senior year. I continued chemo through my senior year, coming home for scans and doctors. I  graduated May of 2022! I am thankful for all the support though it all!  I have been in remission since September 2022. I continue to go for scans every four months now and live my life to the fullest!  Chenkestrong! 


Can you think of anything more important than saving the life of a child?

At our event, some will shave their heads – and others like me will keep the hair we have and put our hearts into supporting research to find cures and safer treatments for all childhood cancers.

Why?

Because cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids.

This is why I’m teaming up with St. Baldrick’s – the #1 charity funder of childhood cancer research grants – in their 25th year.

Your donation can help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of these brave children.

Thank you for your donation!
