I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research

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, and I am proud to lead the thousands of others who will shave our heads to raise money for childhood cancer research.

Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in high income countries will not survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50. And 80% of kids in low-income countries will not survive cancer. We can change this!

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!

爲何我選擇剃髮？爲何這與您相關？

25年前，一場朋友間的偶然挑戰，如今已發展成為全球規模最大的抗擊兒童癌症志願者行動。我深感榮幸，能帶領數千人一同剃去頭髮，為兒童癌症研究事業募集關鍵資金。

您是否知道，在高收入國家，每五名確診的癌症患兒中就有一人無法倖存？而即使存活下來，其中超過96%的人在年屆50前，會遭受嚴重甚至危及生命的後遺症。而在低收入國家，這一生存率更為嚴峻，高達80%的患兒將因此失去生命。而我們可以改變這一切！

每一次剃髮、每一筆捐款，都能為癌症患兒及其家庭帶來希望的漣漪。

你的慷慨捐助，將透過美國最大的兒童癌症研究資助慈善機構——St. Baldrick’s Foundation，支持全美頂尖的科學研究，為無數孩子和家庭點燃生命的希望。

讓我們共同努力，賦予這些孩子本應擁有的完整人生。在此，謹對您的支持致以最誠摯的謝意！

Porque é que estou a rapar a cabeça, e porque é que isto lhe deve importar?

Um desafio entre amigos, há 25 anos, transformou-se no maior movimento de voluntariado para Vencer o Cancro Infantil, e tenho muito orgulho em liderar milhares de pessoas que irão rapar a cabeça para angariar fundos para a investigação do cancro pediátrico.

Sabia que 1 em cada 5 crianças diagnosticadas com cancro em países de alto rendimento não sobrevive? Das que sobrevivem, mais de 96% apresentam condições graves ou potencialmente fatais quando chegam aos 50 anos de idade. E 80% das crianças em países de baixo rendimento não sobrevivem ao cancro. E nós podemos mudar esta realidade!

Cada cabeça rapada, cada euro doado, cria um efeito multiplicador de progresso para as crianças com cancro.

O seu donativo dará esperança às crianças e às suas famílias, apoiando a melhor investigação do país, através do maior financiador solidário de bolsas de investigação em cancro infantil – a Fundação St. Baldrick’s.

Juntos, vamos dar a estas crianças a vida longa que merecem. Bem haja pelo seu apoio!
