I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Team Julia

UPDATED 03/06/2026


Thank you to all the people that donated to the St. Baldricks Foundation. We raised a little over $1,000. I also appreciate all of the support I have gotten for this.


I belong to the Julia's Legacy of Hope team. Their event to raise money by shaving heads on stage, game participation tickets sales, and food sales money is tomorrow. I won't be going to it this year so I am one day ahead of everyone. Earlier today I went to see my favorite hair cutter for my usual cuts and again this year she buzzed all of my hair off. No charge -- for the cause. Thank you, Kelly. She is in the photo with me.

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

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!
