Why am I shaving my head for the 24th time, and why should you care?

Being a three-time cancer survivor myself, “you have cancer,” is a devastating phrase!  I can’t even imagine hearing “your child has cancer!”  St Baldricks is the second only to the federal government in funding childhood cancer research!  With an incredibly low administrative rate, the overwhelming majority of your donations go directly towards funding grants to the most promising research projects!  

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!
