Why am I shaving my head?
In October 2025, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 cancer. After surgery, I believed that chapter of my life was behind me. Cancer was never supposed to be part of my story.
In August 2026, just days before my wedding, I found out the cancer had returned.
I started chemotherapy on September 14, and over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced firsthand how much cancer can take from you. Your energy, your routine, your sense of normal, and your hair.
Three weeks into my treatment, my hair is beginning to fall out. Instead of simply watching it happen, I’ve decided to take control of the moment and shave my head this week.
But I want to make that moment mean something.
I’m shaving my head to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and childhood cancer research.
Going through cancer myself has given me a completely different perspective on what children and their families face. I’m an adult who has had a lifetime of memories and experiences. Kids should be worrying about school, sports, friends, birthdays, not chemotherapy and cancer.
I can’t control having cancer, and I can’t control what chemotherapy takes from me. But I can choose what I do with this moment.
My goal is to raise money to support research that can lead to better treatments and, ultimately, better chances for children with cancer to grow up and live the lives they deserve.
If you’re able to donate, even a few dollars would mean a lot. If you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as powerful.
Thank you for supporting me, and more importantly, for supporting kids and families who are fighting cancer.
Let’s turn something difficult into something meaningful.
