This marks my 8th event with St. Baldrick's, 5th shave, and 3rd hair donation. 

Why do I keep doing this? It started as a tribute to my late partner, John. It became a great tool for me to heal after his death. Then I started seeing all the good it was doing, from the lives it touched to the strides made in pediatric cancer research - first from online updates from St. Baldrick's, then in real life with the more events I attended and became involved with. 

I'm looking to add to the roughly $10,000 total I've raised over the years to combine with the almost $370 million that's been awarded in research grants around the world - your donation could be the one that makes a miracle happen!

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!
