Hi Friends and Family! Why am I shaving my head with St. Baldrick’s? Because your donation “on my head” will actually save lives.
While we have been blessed (knock on wood) to not have been affected by childhood cancer, we have had other forms of cancer in our family (breast cancer, brain tumors, melanomas), this is just a small way to try to help, in my own way. Kids with cancer need our support now more than ever.
St. Baldrick’s is the largest non-government funder of childhood cancer research grants. Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. Research can change that, and I don’t want to let these kids down.
Any (truly ANY) donation, large or small, will be greatly appreciated by me and the kids that are undergoing treatment! Thank you so much!!!

Some good information about this fundraising effort...
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!
