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

Most of us will know someone who has / had cancer in our lives. I lost my mother to Retinal Cancer and my "Mom-by-heart" to Colon Cancer and watched a coworker’s world shatter after hearing the doctor tell he and his wife their son was diagnosed with Leukemia. I understand the heartache cancer can bring to a family. When it's a child, your child, that is even more devastating. Don't wait for your chance to help until you know of someone who has cancer. Help these kids, today, so they can have a chance at a healthy life like you and I have had.    

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!
