Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?

On Thursday March 20th, I am standing up to help fight childhood cancer and participating in St Baldrick's at Forest Road Elementary Battle of the Bald! I am donating my ponytail as a sign of support to all kiddos battling cancer and in special honor of my very dear friend and survivor, Gwen Coia! ? 

Please help donate to this important cause and help our school make an impact in raising funds for research in childhood cancer. Thank you! 

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!
