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

Nineteen years ago, our cub scout pack participated in our first St. Baldrick's. Within a year, the reality of childhood cancer was front and center in our community as our friend Teddy Gerber was diagnosed with undifferentiated sarcoma. Since then, too many of our friends and neighbors' children have faced a similar challenge. This will be the nineteenth time I am 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!
