Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
As a former firefighter with the city of Titusville, the fire fighters there were more than
“People I worked with”, they became family. And as a family, when I found out that one of my brothers has a child with cancer, I wanted to do anything I could to help out. I know that raising money is only a small part of the healing process, but I hope that I can bring attention to help move the research to find a cure for childhood cancers.
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!
