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

In March 2021 our son Mitchell was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma: a devastating diagnoses to a recent college graduate. With the support of an excellent medical team and love and support from friends and family throughout chemotherapy and recovery, he is happy to report being cancer free. This story has, thankfully, had a happy ending for our family. Many families still receive this scary diagnosis on a daily basis, not all have happy stories to tell. I am happy to shave my head in support of Mitchell and all of the other families who are dealing with childhood cancer to raise money to continue research to prevent other families from receiving this diagnosis. Please help me raise awareness of childhood cancer and help to continue to research the elimination of cancer.

For those of you who can please join us on Sunday March 15th to watch the head shaving LIVE at Ned Kelly”s in Littleton and tip back a Guiness to celebrate this important effort to continue raising money for cancer research!!! Thank you for your support.

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, trimmed hair, 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!
