I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research

Oh, hi! Yeah, it’s me again. :) First and foremost, let me start by saying that I will *NOT* be shaving my head again in 2026! But if you’ve been around, you probably already know what that means…my goal for my non-shave years follows a pattern: the age I’m turning on my next birthday with a zero added on the end. So my next birthday is my 45th, and my fundraising goal for my 11th year with St. B’s is set at $450.00. :)

I’ve been involved in fundraising efforts for St. Baldrick’s since 2016, and that’s looked a little like, well, this:

2016: $2,225.00

2017: $4,225.00

2018: $4,300.00

2019: $700.00

2020: $1,070.00

2021: $2,584.00

2022: $704.00

2023: $731.00

2024: $815.00

2025: $2851.00

…A GRAND TOTAL OF $20,205.00 IN TEN YEARS! <3

I’ll never, ever, ever be able to express my gratitude or describe how much this means to me. I mean, seriously...I know the most amazing people. Ever. <3

Childhood cancer is an absolute beast.

Most of you already know I'm a a mom of five amazing kids, one of whom is a Shaken Baby Syndrome Survivor. Due to her medically fragile condition, we were often "frequent flyers" at our local children's hospital and have seen these unspeakably brave fighters firsthand, enduring things no child should *ever* have to endure. But did you also know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? And childhood cancer research is *extremely* underfunded (only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to children--FOUR PERCENT). Ugh. Four percent. I mean...only four percent? How? My heart can't reconcile that amount. It just can't.

Every single dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers. Please consider donating, and please spread the word.

Thanks for always having my back and supporting me. Y’all know how incredibly pumped I get when a new donation pops up. But, like, for REALLY real. It is like a straight shot of dopamine. F*ck cancer, for really real. Together, we are changing the face of cancer research, one dollar at a time.

With my love & gratitude to all,

Courtney <3 xo
