I am shaving to raise money for childhood cancer research

Hi! I’m John Bushnell. I am in the 5th grade and this is my 4th year doing St. Baldricks. 


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


I’m raising money to help pay for important cancer research for children. While I don’t know any kids with cancer, I have family who have it now and have had it. I’d like to be a small part of making cancer go away. And I hope you can help.


I’ll shave my head in front of the whole elementary school and I hope you’ll be willing to make a donation to support the cause. My goal is to raise $800 - any amount you can give is really great and I appreciate. 


Thank you for your support!!


Thank you. 

John Bushnell
