Almost exactly one year ago I decided to donate my kidney, so that a friend and fellow 501st Legion Garrison‘s son could have a a fighting chance at a life they deserved. It was a small thing to give, and while my sacrifice was nothing, it meant the world to another.

Now I am doing this small thing of shaving my head to try and help others have a fighting chance. Because we should all have each other’s backs.
Here is more about what I am doing.
A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids' Cancer. This year, I'm joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!
Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won't survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.
Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.
Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
Together, let's give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
