I am specifically doing this in honor of my 11 year old cousin, Giancarlo DiGiacomo, who was was diagnosed with a rare sub-type of ALL, called Hypodipliody. On, February 12, 2008 he received stem cells from an unrelated cord donor for a bone marrow transplant. See a Cherish the Children video done about him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDO_jxryHxs More of his story, and updates, can be found here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/giancarlodigiacomo About St. Baldricks: St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family. At a St. Baldrick's event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause after looking into the face of these brave children who are smiling broadly as their friends and family members proudly display their newly shorn heads. Volunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause. Young cancer patients and survivors see how many people care. And researchers see St. Baldrick's funds helping to find cures!
