For the past eight years, shaving my head for St. Baldrick’s has become far more than a yearly tradition — it’s a commitment shaped by the incredible support I’ve received from family, friends, coworkers, and my community. Every year, people have stepped forward with encouragement, donations, and stories of their own connections to childhood cancer. Their support has turned a simple act of shaving into something powerful: a reminder that none of us fight alone.

Because of that support, I’ve been able to help raise funds that fuel research, give families hope, and honor the kids who inspire this mission. Each year’s shave represents hundreds of conversations, shared memories, and renewed determination. The impact isn’t just in the dollars raised — it’s in the collective strength of everyone who has stood beside me, year after year, believing that we can make a difference.

Eight years in, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together. And I’m even more grateful for the people who have made it possible. Their generosity and encouragement continue to push me forward, reminding me why this cause matters and why I’ll keep showing up.
